Language changes with use. What has frustrated me since high school is when people get so pedantic over the natural progression of language.
Conservative to the bone I guess.
- tpoacher 5y agoWhile the lines are often blurred, emerging idioms vs language errors are not simply a case of wanting kids to get off the lawn. It is about making a distinction between useful and harmful semantics in communication. I would argue this is similar to the difference between accent vs pronunciation. People often conflate the two as similar. But you having a different accent makes your speech beautiful. Whereas you having a different pronunciation makes your speech unintelligible.
