I listened to a Ted Talk the other day that was given by a linguist and university profess of English, whose point was that the language is always changing, and that we shouldn’t be so rigid in our interpretation of others’ speech and writing. As an example, she said that a few hundred years ago, the word “lollygag” meant to make out / kiss.
The problem I have with this is that window stickers like the one shown here simply make you look like an idiot. I heard a television commentator covering a golf tournament describe an errant shot like this: “That ball could have went anywhere.”
While it’s true that the language is always in flux, poor grammar makes it hard for other people to take you seriously.

In 2008, when rich Icelanders had committed financial crimes that led to their country’s economic collapse, do you know what happened to them? Were they re-elected and left to loot their treasury? No, they were sent to prison.
Honest and free nations don’t encourage criminality. They send felons to prison. It’s not that hard, nor is it in any way controversial.
Sending Top-Level Criminals to Prison Makes Sense, Unless They’re Americans, of Course
One of the most remarkable characteristics of Donald Trump is his shamelessness. No matter how many lies he gets caught in, he’s always willing to tell one more–one that’s even more outrageous.
One would think that he and his supporters would eventually reach a limit, but the answer is clearly that such a limit does not exist.
