JRO and Donovan, each of you, take a pill!! ("terminally ill
housewives"??!?) ("Stop being stupid and looking for things to be
critical about"??!?)

While there is a preponderance of people in Canada who insist on saying
"I could care less" when they mean "I couldn't care less", and
"irregardless" when they mean "regardless", and "He played real good"
when they mean "He played really well", it does not necessarily mean
that these statements are correct or ever will be correct. Granted,
language evolves. But as it's evolving, I think that it's perfectly
acceptable for us to object to some of the evolution.

Also, I'm well aware, JRO, that you like to write in the style of Mark
Twain and pride yourself on your intentional errors. But I feel certain
from this protest that this particular error was unintentional. However,
