I use it to talk to people into the things I'm into. Mostly writers, furries (which has a billion subgroup interests), and artists. You wouldn't know these communities exist on Twitter from the logged-out home page, and the discov

I have never seen a situation where using a less common spelling or grammar was more distracting than the pedantic tangent it produced.

I feel the same way about women/woman. It used to irk me when I saw someone mix the two up, but then I realized I do it all the time by accident. For example, in the first draft of this very comment.
