"Are you dumb?" part deux.

I've been waiting for someone to make the argument that "usage makes it correct," but I guess you are all too smart for that one.. if that argument were correct, the perfect analogy would be that if you rape a woman enough times she becomes a slut.

OMG KvH, get off your high horse. You're talking apples and oranges. Language was meant to be changed over time. By your logic, you'd rightfully be considered a heathen by someone from Shakespearean time because of your use of language.

Put simply, language is a tool, a tool to facilitate communication. Man is known as the tool bearing animal because of our ability to fashion a tool to suit our needs in any given situation. It's right and appropriate to adjust our use of languange over time.

Maybe we should have stopped developing language once the caveman innovated the grunt and chirp? Would that make you happy? Somewhere, there's a caveman rolling in his grave because we don't use the polite form of chirp that he instituted.

Sure, not all change is for the best, and not all change will be adopted into the common vernacular. But to smugly compare tweaking a language to raping a human being... as if that would be your trump card in a future debate... you've lost all sense of relativity!

At my peek, I took a peak at taking a brake too study another language.
But, I put on the break when I found that I was bad at them to.

I cannot understand what cjolley is trying to say. What ever will I do? I fear that my brain will explode! It's the end of civilization! The sky is falling... The sky is falling!
