    So it was resolved instore to their even better benefit, AND the person still went and posted a false story to shame and blame them?

    People are fucking weird.

        In-store is, and language is fluid. If you understood what I meant we succeeded in communicating, anything else is you just trying to be better than someone else.

                So where do we draw the line on when new words can’t be created anymore? Shakespeare? Wassup? Crunk? Your username even has LOL in it, I don’t think we should be taking language lessons from someone who parades that around….

                An online forum lacking in content and engagement isn’t the place to make a stand against minor mistakes that don’t detract from the conversation.

                  What I’m making a stand against is the position that there’s no such thing as bad grammar because it’s all just language evolution.
