My point being that “proper” grammar has never been the language of the masses and anybody thinking there’s a sudden change now just hasn’t been paying attention.
I’m not missing anything, you’re changing what I said in a desperate search for something to be right about. The rules of grammar change.
Barbarism?! BWHAHAHAHAHAHA. See that’s exactly the egotistical BS I was talking about. Grammar nazis are just stroking themselves. Really, get over yourself. You’re not that cool.
Your problem is that you're a relativist -- probably a lazy one. You deny the reality of barbarism, which can only mean that you deny the reality of civilization. There is no privileged point of view in your world; things just exist. Do you hold this out of principle (which I doubt), or as an unexamined sentiment? How do you square this with metaphysical questions touching on morality or epistemology? You seem to set a lot of store by utility -- are you utilitarian out of principle, or again, out of lazy sentiment?
