Break more grammar rules...

I one furst playc in a spellin bea. Thate wuz a longer tyme than long agoh.

Pssh.

Grammar pisses me off. So does my gramma.

s5, I thought I told you to leave like an hour ago.

I'll see your Chicago Manual and raise you a Garner.


I cried when I looked at Strunk and White AND Garner and discovered that it is now acceptable to use apostrophes in pluralizations and years. No, it's not! It's like when the O.E.D. gave "judgement" the stamp of approval. Don't pander to idiots!

some are now accepting 'febuary'

I say it's time we go back to grunting, or heiroglyphics.

Oh, on topic?

"Some one set us up the bomb! For great justice!"

On all the morning I get up and makes myself an egg sangwitch. very so good be it.



MMMMMMM eggs

Fuck that! Where's Dr_H?

He's back on page one, trying to draw phrase trees. Meanwhile, us sociolinguists are recording your conversations. We're on page two.

And grammar rules, people. Not spelling rules. They're not the same. Close. But not the same.

How about polite society rules? Eh? 2 times I've posted on this thread, and I'm way too subtle.

I'll see that.

They gave judgement the stamp of approval because it's been in use at least as long as judgment. The OED doesn't pander, they just find new sources. And while I agree that it's dumb to accept apostrophes where they clearly shouldn't be, using them in electronically set type (e.g. computer screens) makes it much easier to read. In this case, I really think it was them giving way to technology, not idiocy.
