You're both right - it's evolving the language, just like lies evolve the truth, and a kid's clumsy drawing of a flower is a creative and unique artwork. Not being flippant. There is an inherent conflict between how people want it and how it is. The future might not care either way.
- emodendroket 9y agoTo my way of thinking, questions of orthography should be thought about differently than questions of grammar or vocabulary or other spoken-language issues. After all, we all learn to speak naturally and a standards body's decrees have little effect on how we speak. On the other hand, we have to make a conscious effort to learn to read and write, and standards bodies do regularly undertake, successfully, efforts to reform spelling.
