    The usage of ought is perfectly cromulent. I’d’ve cut the sentence before the “to” -it’s punchier that way. Dictionaries are descriptive and not prescriptive. Fuck the man; write beautiful words.

      Yeah, in the Midwest ought or ought to and should are the same thing pretty much no matter what.
