There’s a difference between having a fairly good command of the English language and being an obnoxious, dogmatic slave to it.
For instance, slang is (to most people, including myself) a legitimate form of expression. I mean, come on…language isn’t mathematics. Sure, there are certain basic rules that everyone has to follow, but the point of language is for people to COMMUNICATE and be able to UNDERSTAND each other.
It’s NOT to see who can memorize the most variations of the same word and sprinkle them liberally throughout their conversations so they look really smart when they’re quite possibly a dumba$$.
You see, because language falls in the middle ground between logic and creativity, you can create (oops!) something that is understandable and ALSO inspiring/moving/original.
You know, cuz not ALL movies are ENTIRELY grammatically correct. Not ALL books are ENTIRELY grammatically correct. That’s part of the CHARM. The only people who don’t get this are those whose logical intelligence is Einstein and whose creative intelligence is stick figure drawings.
If you want perfect language, stripped of all the unnecessary and cumbersome illogical words, get a copy of the Newspeak Dictionary from the Party. Doubleplusgood!
