Re: I need some help!


Because our language has never been consistent, and I don't understand
why, when one earns a living using the English language, one cannot
learn it properly instead of wanting to change it to suit some
misguided
attempt at standardization.

Well, I learned it well enough to earn a bachelor's degree, I guess
I've just learned not to sweat about things like these. I have no
problems updating my language references and seeing what is new. When
you say our language has never been consistent, well, it's consistent
enough that I can write this sentence and you can read it and
understand it, so I don't know what you mean by that at all. Why
should an attempt at standardization be misguided? I think it merely
means that some people simply do not want to learn something new.
