To CNN: Remember, it's my language you're abusing. No, it is not. It's their language too. There is no central authority which hands down the rules of the English language, only common agreement and a shared understanding.

Rules of grammar are useful, but getting too pedantic and authoritarian about them can do nothing but suck the joy out of your life.
