Foiled Again

It was only in the last few years I heard that vampires cannot enter your house unless they are invited. Has that always been canon, or was it added to explain why vampires try to seduce their victims?

A few years ago, I would have said that no one is crazy enough to invite a vampire into their house.
But, things have changed.

I believe it may be from Dracula, but it's "canon" in Buffy:The Vampire Slayer, so it's canon in a lot of pop culture.

I had a teacher personifying that caricature ... and her strictness prepared me for the mother of my future children.
You tell me, who, at 17 (the future mother of my children was a year or so older than me) refuses to accept poor English usage ? Who at 17 reads a dictionary for fun, and it was a very big one.
I had emigrated from the U.K., via Central America, and Australia, and was in Maoriland (now called New Zealand) with a near Cockney accent, saying such as "What's that fing in the road, ahead, luv ?" and so I was quickly taught to pronounce 'th', differentiate between free and three !
Did me good though, now if I ask someone 'how you doing ?' and they say 'good', I correct them and tell them they mean 'well'.
I don't have many friends though, and often wonder why.
Adds lols.
