Try to comprehend that what's trivial to some is not trivial to others. And it's not necessarily a matter of getting pissed off, but one of being disgusted with where this country is headed, and the fucking laziness towards learning simple English. I guess you are ok with our language degrading into something akin to Ebonics.

You sound nothing like Shakespeare...

Here's another tip: heighth is not a word. It's height.

 

[40Arpent]

Slightly off-topic, but has anyone else noticed the new prevalence of the use of the word "that"? I've noticed it, particularly in the tactical shooting arena, when the specific emphasis on a particular object isn't necessary. A couple of examples:

- You need to get that front sight aligned...
- You should position that holster...
- A proper shooting stance allows you to achieve that necessary stability...

In none of these examples is there a need to distinguish any one thing from another. I guess people just think it sounds tacticool or something. LOL

Sadly I think you're right, it's just tacticool bs. It is rather annoying.

Yet once in common use, particularly in prose of English writer's of the 17th, 18th and into the 19th century, as well as being regional in the UK to this day.

How many say "breadth" any longer?

Unnecessary use of the word "just" and use of an adverb to end a sentence. "I guess people think it sounds tacticool or something similar".
