Ha! Start using XOR in your day to day life. Let us know how it turns out.>> ^jwray:

I'm fairly grammar-nazi-ish, but there are a few "correct" usages that I disagree with. I like split infinitives and using "they" as a genderless singular pronoun. Also, English needs to abolish the ambiguous "or" and just use separate words for inclusive or and exclusive or.

I tend to get annoyed by some glaring grammatical errors, but any time common usage has completely diverged from the "correct" form I figure it is time to just let it go, man.

Additionally, there are some correct forms that just bother me so I intentionally use the incorrect version. For example, I would never refer to Janet Reno and John Ashcroft as "attorneys general", and would similarly refuse to reply to someone asking to speak to me on the phone with "this is he". /shudder

So I guess I'm more of a grammar Catholic-school-nun than a grammar Nazi.

Man those two in a near row made spit soda, you bastages!!!

/edit- If you think holocaust is a bad word to use, how did it exist and be used (OMG) before WWII. Should it be WLMDs; you know, woeful lack of medical discussion?
