As an aside, is "come out of house" a British usage?

As an additional aside, the comma before because seems to serve no practical purpose. I would not use it.
(I have never heard come out of house before, either. You can't go wrong with come out of the house, though.)

blueblooded65What's your suggestion instead of "come out of house"?I agree with Gus on this one: "come out of the house."
The reason I thought it might be British, is that we have
"He was in hospital." BrE; and "He was in the hospital." AmE.
