To be fair, if anyone was actually "hung up" on any of this we wouldn't be able to stand it here - or anywhere else on this here innerweb
thingamajig. You sound like you're taking the "nazi" reference in the title literally. It should be obvious that we're "having a go" at
ourselves while simultaneously venting frustration at an annoyance.
Some people are perfectionists, some don't give a *snip*, and most fall somewhere in between.
Of course I don't really think that anyone at ATS is lacking in the mental capacity to "mind their Ps & Qs".
as grammar and spelling changes the actual meaning changes little or at all.
This is debatable. Like I said, the natural progression of a language is a good thing, but not at the cost of expressiveness. New words make a
language grow but when they're forced into the collective vocabulary due to short-lived trends then material produced during those times loses its
longevity. It'll sound dated. Certain grammatical distinctions are in place for a reason, and are something that gives a language (and language in
general) its power.
. Ouch, did I say that publicly? I'm just kidding, I love this place! Anyway, I hate
grammatical and spelling errors in posts and the like. Get Firefox people! Firefox will, at least, help cure spelling ailments. ATS should hire me, as
I'm now an English major
