I find it very enlightening when people who find issue with my expression let me know about it in a friendly way. I think the commenter took a lot of care to phrase their concern in a very nice way; when people do this to me I thank them. It’s the only way that I can keep learning how the language changes with time.

If matt_morgan has concern, matt_morgan can personalize his concern, not preach about what's "painless, traditional-grammar-friendly" generally to all. I don't find that friendly, I find it intrusive.

I always find it so interesting that a full-out flamewar is just fun, while a side comment about improving communication is "intrusive". This is the internet, my friend...

In addition to intent, outcome must also be considered.
