I always have a problem (me-my problem, not the other party's) when ome missuses the language, written or spoken, to spin something around and says A --> means B, "because language is a living thing and meanings change" to suit their message, but not the truth. The parent message was flagged, thus I didn't have a chance to read it, but from the above comments and your comments I get it that.

No it's not, but potato means potato, and cancer means cancer. How you read it or speak it is your thing. And one of Quality's definitions is: "compliance to specifications".

I would like to believe that the audience here is mostly high quality audience, I have to admit that language barriers exist that would make some people seem less eloquent, but by your definition we'll end up having "Idiocracy" (what humour, food, health, etc. may become).

I think that "Idiocracy" idea is highly elitist. I'd for us to all be reading in search of lost time in the evenings. But hey playing fortnite n instagramming are the current consensus right? Who am i to say fortnite n instagram are low quality past times for idiots?

And inflammable means flammable...

The fluid nature of the future evolution of the English language is hardly an excuse not to communicate according to a reasonable set of standards now much less a reason to deny any standards exist.

I guess you're entitled to your opinions too!

But yes. Doing things like not starting sentences with "because". Not writing down the ums n ers. Seem to go well with old folks.

But ya. Usually i dun run things with the -vvv flag.
