Yeah, language changes. Organically. Not because of silly, clunky usage like this.
- romwell 4y agoAnd who is the arbiter of language that decides which usage is silly and clunky? Usage is usage. What is clunky and silly is complaining against language that is perfectly clear and understandable, whatever words it uses.
- NotYourLawyer 4y agoI guess the people who prefer the original by a factor of 30-1 are the arbiters.
