In response to Re Bye Bye FT's (amused)

Common (or when it becomes the most common) will become the correct.

Its amazing you can be playing English-smarty and not understand that.

but let's listen to people who are the masters of the masters of English..

" I’m certainly not a member of the grammar police. And neither are my fellow lexicographers. Of course, there are those of us who still shudder over an errant apostrophe, or a ‘less’ lurking where there should be a ‘fewer’. But, as a breed, we’re far less likely to get distressed over the stretching of the more obscure rules of grammar or the entry of slang and textspeak into everyday language than the average man on the street. "

it might interest you to know (then ignore) that in one of your most recent replies *you* used what was a grammatical error which is now considered the proper usage! Can you find it? You wrote it. 50 years ago it was wrong. Its correct and proper today.

How can you not know this? Its just the most basic of things you learn in the history of the English language (English 101)
