Default Re: Sayings that people totally butcher.....

I think one of the most interesting things about language is the way that words and phrases change over time. I also feel that it's ludicrous to bind language to certain standardized rules. (of course there are exceptions, but I'm talking about conversational language) part of the beauty of language is that it can morph, but we are still able to communicate with it. it also seems really neat to me that someone today can read middle english and still get the jist of it, even though a lot of the words and phrases are totally different.

in short, you guys are a bunch of nits (said the nit.. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] ). the purpose of lanuage is communication. if you understand what someone means why does it matter how they say it?
