Haaaaa! My chicken has to cook another five minutes--and I'm back. Regarding "down": When you say "down (to) the cellar" or"down to the shore", the cellar and shore are your goals. You are going toward them. When you say "down the slope" or "down the ladder", you are already there, on those objects; they're the means "to" your goals, but not the goals in themselves. How's that? I made it up, too. My husband played ball in college with a boy from New York who always said, "Wanna go with?" and no object with the prep., which we loved and adopted. We still say it to each other.
