    Could someone who has access to those Ngram thingies check a
    comparison of:

    1. based on
    2. based off
    3. based out of

    for

    a: US usage
    b: non-US usage?

    I'd like to know if "based off" has completely superseded "based on".

    How in the world did you get that impressin?
