Evolution of language is neutral, neither good nor bad.

A much better way to be contrarian in this discussion is to point out that, contrary to popular belief, knowledge of grammar is not necessary for a grammar nazi. In fact, it is preferable to employ hypercorrections when playing the role.

On a completely different topic; I hear Urban Meyer is a pretty good coach of American football. Can anyone confirm?

Not according to the science of euguistics (not to be confused with the pseudoscience of lingenics). How else can one achieve Uberlingua but via through the culling of undesirable scriptio via careful verbum hygiene?

Sorry for the tangent, but I highly recommend reading the Spurrier quotes in that link about a player getting caught for underage drinking last year. God, Spurrier is awesome (at least at entertaining me, that is).

If you really wanted to go off on a tangent, you should have f***ed up your grammar.
