About me: I am a pedant. If you find your sentences that made perfect sense to your American ears have been edited to actually make grammatical sense, you can probably blame/credit me! I oppose the dumbing-down of our language that is being permitted and promoted by liberal, descriptivist pansies in the American education system. Spelling errors irritate me more than international terrorism, and I take more pleasure from an eloquent and grammatical sentence than I do from the sight of so many naked ladies. I believe that the reason our language has so many words in it is so that we may use them to communicate more precisely and efficiently, not to impress and/or confuse the proletariat (though this is often a desired or undesired side-effect, depending on the situation).
Disclaimer: Just as monkeys occassionally fall from trees, I occasionally make mistakes. I accept this, and though I believe that no one is perfect, I still feel that perfection is a noble goal worth working toward.
- Can you help get rid of all those misspellings of honour, neighbour, colour and so forth? Seems some people want these words not to have "u" in them. Seemingly, in some ununilaterial notions of language, one can have honor without obligation, neighbors without consideration, color chosen by bigots not one's own eyes, and so on. This seems very bad.
- While you're at it, there are some map errors in here too - all those red states should be part of Mexico and all those blue states should be part of Canada.
- Looks like you've ended your disclaimer with a preposition. In the words of Sir Winston: "This is an outrage, up with which I will not put!"
