Re: You win!!!!
Date: 2006-04-26 02:47 am (UTC)Interesting though that both of those things can apply to the word prescriptive. It "was" traditional belief that the mother should raise the kid but times have definitely changed for the better in that regard. And proper use of English grammar could be considered prescriptive as well.
But either way if I was to believe in the "mommy should..." belief or if I was to (or more appropriately "do") use English grammar wrong it wouldn't be a matter of right or wrong. I'd be wrong on either account.
Heh, I bet you"re really getting sick of my babbling by now. You can tell me to shut up. I'll listen. Or you can go the other way and add me as a friend and we can have future conversations that will hopefully not involve arguing. But whichever you choose I hope that you have a great night, I wish you luck with you're clever little learning project, and im sorry that I've upset you.
P.S. Damn, it's hard to remember to capitalize all those I's.
