Bah, there are far to many language snobs. Language is merely a tool to communicate. If the person or persons understand what the communicator is saying than mission accomplished.
This is a big beef I have with the college educated. They get stuck on shit that just does not matter just to rub others noses in their self perceived brilliance. Get over yer selves.
motherfucking this.
language isn't "degrading", its just changing.
language snobs from 100 years ago were saying the same shit, and they'll probably be saying it 100 years from now, even though language has constantly shifted throughout that period.
The only bad language is when you fail to communicate what you mean effectively.
