    Just because your English professors taught at a university, does not mean they are the final authoritative word on how the English language is spoken.

      That’s kind of the point: there isn’t an authority on English. The closest we come is a bunch of English elites making up informal rules on grammar, spelling, and pronunciation and judging everyone else for not using their version. … And a bunch of try-hards who enforce their arbitrary and often nonsensical 'rules '.

      If it parses, it rolls.
