Let's just celebrate the diversity of the English language, go with the flow and revel in the colour and character of our speech, wherever in the world we live. I'll always rail against ignorant degradation, such as alternate for alternative and disinterested instead of uninterested, and against the downright pretentiousness of horrors such as albeit, prior to and on a daily basis. Otherwise, English is simply wot English speakers speak, and to hell with the grammar police.
