Which is why the reader should be concerned for her.

Don't worry. I'm sure I'll think about it in a better way if I read a little more.

Now if you excuse me, I have a annoying harddrive that needs to be taught a lesson.

...Are we seriously having a ****ing conversation about this?

A word is defined by it's use and it's origin. That some literary morons wish to not accept it as "proper grammer" or deject it as "slang" only shows an ineptitude for adaptation, and a clinging to traditional values that are both narrow and restrictive to growth and expansion. The fact that it is used in everyday conversation validates it's use as a word.

In other words: Because I say so.

You misspelled "grammar."

It's a habit. Given, a bad habit.

About grammar? Apparently. What's the big deal, anyway?

If we want to get technical, it's more vernacular police than grammar police.

Also, it's spelled "grammar", and "it's" means "it is".

It should be "grammar" Rip.

Rip, I get the feeling that you may have misspelled "grammar". I'm not positive, but I'm getting that vibe, you know?

It should be "grammar", Rip.

You forgot the comma.

That's not a word.

While I think the fluidity and evolution of language is a valid point, I feel change should have purpose. Making words longer than they used to be without adding any increased clarity to their meaning is counterproductive.


Also, it's spelled "grammar", and "it's" means "it is".

Clarity is achieved when traditionalist idiots "officially" define a word. That Ir- makes it's root a double negative is immaterial in terms of definition, only in etymology. Definition is defined solely by use, not origin. As for being counterproductive in the english language, well, damn, have you actually looked at some of our literary mechanics? English is a god aweful mess.

As for my spelling errors, well, damn, I'm an idiot. Excuse me while I go beat my head against a wall for a bit more.

Ah, now you are arguing semantics. Regardless, there are no "vernacular police" to speak of, only Grammar Police and their fascist cousins, the Grammar Nazis.
