@Nimbus at least we don’t waste so many vowels in spelling like you all do.

@Nimbus I don't mind that, to tell the truth. I find the odd turns of phrase 'a tad bit' amusing, 'not that big of a deal', and certainly wouldn't have a 'conniption fit' about any of it.

English is in a strange position, as languages go. It is so widespread that nobody controls it, and so it belongs to everybody. Everyone adds their own little twist.
