Someone needs to tell t.gracchus the language is alive, and metamorphosizing daily. The most egregious errors in it are being dim sense and obfuscated pointilism by intent or huffy arrogance. Second-most being the intolerance of malefactors, the punishing of "aints" at the expense of vitality by dessicated husks, whose days lack even nostalgia for the lost world of bright change playful language commemorates. A distant third and possibly not in the running - oblique usage of the archaic and arcane, not to mention the antique treasures of former times. - That would be "...if this ever<b>-</b>changing world, in which we live in..." An intentional error to catch the arpeggio and bring the rhyme home for "..makes you <i>give in</i> and cry..." Jimmy's heart's in the right place, at least. This thread has unravelled so soonly.
