    It's correct to say 'formerly known as' not 'formally known as' and 'should have' not 'should of'. These just bother me. Other grammar and word choice errors are perfectly acceptable.

    Meh. The pronunciation of things change and makes things seem and sound different. Heck, maybe in 10-50 years from now, English will be much different to how we know it now.

    It's true that languages change over time, but the examples Trogdor gave were people using just flat-out incorrect grammar and/or words in place of other words.

    I say fuck that. EB White had this right. Fight the power of degeneration and try to at least keep the meanings of words until the idiot masses change them not only mostly for a short time but completely for a long time.
