Just finished tabulating the results, let me tell you I am *very* surprised by some of the answers. It's like hearing that your friends don't agree that *insert least favorite politician* is a creep! Well, it's done now. I just have to start presenting my case against linguistic prejudice more clearly, that's all. I'll forget this ever happened in a few days - block it from my memory.

*grins*

Okay, it's not *that* bad. But... Well, of course, I'm very anti-prescriptivist when I remember to be.

Yeah, I know you do now too. Doesn't mean I have to *like* it. I'll just have to work that much harder at converting you to the forces of light and goodness and linguistic lovechildren!
