@jqbalter face swapping? What? Oh never mind. -
The people I find most baffling on Twitter are the ones who come in all sweary-guns blazing then get all shocked when you respond in kind.

@sapinker@TomChivers@BuzzFeed Isn’t this just prescriptivism vs descriptivism? -
@TomChivers@sapinker For descriptivists, if someone has said/written “Between you and I”, it’s not wrong. -
@jcscaliger@sapinker That's not true. It's if a significant proportion of English speakers consider it correct English, then it must be. -
@TomChivers@sapinker OK, well, that’s descriptivism. Do a sig. propor. of descriptivists also adhere to laissez-faire economic principles? -
@jcscaliger …no? But all academic linguists and the Cambridge Grammar of the English Language, agree with every claim in that piece -
@TomChivers What are English teachers in primary/second school supposed to teach if one follows descriptivist dogma? -
@jcscaliger how about the actual rules of standard English, rather than daft shibboleths about split infinitives? - 3 more replies
