But why force "progress"? It's not even progress, it's just how people talk..
If someone wants to say innovaytive or innovuhtive, who really cares... And yet if the Government wants to give you ID cards everyone complains! -------------------- :p
Grammar: the difference between knowing your poop and knowing you're poop. |

QUOTE (motormad @ Dec 27 2012, 01:01 PM) If someone wants to say innovaytive or innovuhtive, who really cares... The 'great unwashed' don't care. The well educated tend to. Like I said, society will not make progress if we degenerate the way we communicate. Colloquialism tends to come from migrants and the ill-educated or lazy. I don't think we should take our lead from those examples. QUOTE (motormad @ Dec 27 2012, 01:01 PM) And yet if the Government wants to give you ID cards everyone complains! I'm not sure I see your point here. |

We could mix it up a little 'eh Jimmy like do pop round to ones hice for a jar yous be well jel mon' |
