If you’re going to criticize grammar, you should first preview your own posting:

Especially when people gripe about language. I think every thread like this I’ve ever read, it’s been pointed out in the first ten posts that the usage being pitted has been around for three hundred years or more.

And I’ll back you up in any fight on that particular subject.
Grrrr.
