Many speakers of English are uneducated, and in today's political
climate, it is considered improper to point out their mistakes. I've
actually heard English professors claim that "English is a grammarless
language," which I found rather alarming.

Had I claimed it incorrect, someone would have told me that I was

which form was actually correct. A lot of people here don't like it
when I'm right.

"'Please listen to Me and Antony,' said God."
