You're right but I'll be damned if I'm going to sit here and accept/defend it because someone told me to.

Here is where you explain why the natural evolution of language is a bad thing, other than the fact that it offends your sensibilities.

Or, is that the only reason?

Apparently, I'd continue but your twisting of my words is a work of art.

So how would you diagnose your compulsion of pointless nitpicking with an obvious troll called clamsmasher22? Or with us for that matter. Since were flaming and all that.

^^^^ Fuck you.

As for the grrrl, isn't that pronounced as 'girl'? So it's not really a new word as a different way to type a current word. I always thought 'grrrl' was some sort of dyke thing anyways.

[Kinamur1999]

yes grrl is a different way of spelling girl, I personally thought it had something to do with Girl power like girls growling Grrrrr-L

Anyway if every different spelling of a word became legitimate because it could be read the same would make me cry.

Girl
Grrl
Gurl
gerl

etc,etc,etc. a line should be drawn somewhere.

And here we have the resident book-burning nazi weighing in on how he's going to rewrite the dictionary after he destroys the current establishment of language. No impure words! Only words with blonde hair and blue eyes! Just remember friends... It starts with Czechoslovakia... then Poland... And soon they'll be at your door...

Along the same lines of massacred french.

"Walla"... it's "Voila." I don't care how it's pronounced, that is how you spell it. Period.

I don't spell "knife" "nyf" because that's how it's pronounced.

Dumbasses.

That is all.

You do realize that fully 70% of English words are of French origin, and only a very tiny minority of those words are spelled and/or pronounced how they were in French originally, yes?
