      So where do we draw the line on when new words can’t be created anymore? Shakespeare? Wassup? Crunk? Your username even has LOL in it, I don’t think we should be taking language lessons from someone who parades that around….

      An online forum lacking in content and engagement isn’t the place to make a stand against minor mistakes that don’t detract from the conversation.

        What I’m making a stand against is the position that there’s no such thing as bad grammar because it’s all just language evolution.
