Sigh...yes. While I know that a language is not a static entity, but a living and breathing beast, I can't help but agree with the occasional post I've seen on the BA forum that chastises Americans for our poor stewardship of our shared language over the past 200 years. But I'm from New Yahk, so waddoo I know, y'all.
