Why, why, why can’t liberals just leave speech alone? The language is probably their most-favored tool...they think if they can control the language, they can ultimately control the world.

I've heard California linguistics professors complain about the white, middle-class hegemony our current grammar system wields over oppressed minorities. Maybe hu will set the captives free.
