Let people obsess. They're not hurting you.
- epgui 4y agoThere's also a well-known thing about English in that it's culturally much less prescriptive about grammar than other languages. The American-English philosophy around grammar doesn't necessarily transpose to other grammars around the world.
- OJFord 4y agoAmerican English is trying to do away with adverbs entirely! Sometimes I find myself shouting '-ly!' at the screen. (I just wanted to leave that comment here real quick.)
- junon 4y ago... They said, spending too much effort to try to insult me by going through my comment history and still missing the point of the original comment.
- OJFord 4y agoI didn't even look at your profile, if you've said 'real quick' or something similar before (or whatever it is you think I gleaned from there) it's a coincidence. And in fact why would I have? I was replying to something someone else said in reply to you, not even related really except via parent to your GP comment.
