Thread Name: BS: Grammar: Use of the semi colon
Subject: RE: BS: Grammar: Use of the semi colon
Such words as Artic partic u ly, nucula, oragutang, irregardless indicate a poor command of the language, or, a speech impediment or just plain laziness.When I hear someone butchering the language with such non-words, I tune them out. Language was created to allow us to communicate; there are rules; they were created to prevent everyone from speaking his/her own lingo, and, being incomprehensible to others. If this makes me a grammar Nazi, so be it. We haff vays to make you tok.
