I would be tempted to say Fiennes has class except for that incident in the mile high club with a flight attendant.

Definitely not classy.

I blame Strange Days for eroding my interest in Ralph Fiennes movies.

Our language is being obliterated. And with it go our founding documents, our liberty and our way of life.

He's completely right, we are losing our beautiful language. Just look at the posts on this forum.

Not only do we not use flowery and elegant language anymore, but most people these days can barely write a coherent sentence.

Don't even get me started on punctuation or misspelled words.

Examples:

Then and Than

Too To Two

Your You're Ur

There Their They're

Last but not least: putting apostrophes at the end of every word that ends with the letter "S"

So glad I don’t tweet; tweeting is for birds, not people.

No, purposefully moving away from phonics and toward word memorization is eroding our reading and writing skills.

Fiennes is a pompous twit.

That said, he happens to be right in this instance.

full name Ralph Nathaniel Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes

C'mon now, that's every bit as funny as any "black" name, I've heard.

I wonder if Ralphie got beat up a lot as a kid?

We could always return to Chaucer's English.

Whan that Aprill, with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote
And bathed every veyne in swich licour,
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;

That being said, I agree with Ralph Fiennes (who is still handsome without that horrible beard, CaptainK). Another irritating result of Twitter is the increasing number of people who no longer capitalize words including their own names. ["Screen names are not included in this lamentation." - arasina]

I drive people crazy. I take my time typing text messages. I insist in proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, etc.

I will not lower my standards.

Languages change, it’s what they do, anybody that doesn’t like it should stick with the dead languages, they don’t change because nobody uses them.
