are lots of rules in English grammar/spelling that are
"unnecessary." That doesn't mean I don't cringe when I get a text
message that reads "hey u, wat r u up 2??" Nor does it mean I'm not
going to try to preserve some of these rules... Sure, I know what the
sender means, that doesn't mean I have to like the way it was said.
(Flash forward 50 years to when the English alphabet only has 12 letters...)
Geez. I attempted to politely make one reply to an issue which someone
else raised - which I think was reasonable as it was 'in my defense' and
the issue was raised in public - flagged the issue as off-topic and suggested
that further discussion should be off-list.
In response we get a reply that not only fails to see or address the argument
being made, but non-sensically replies to a portion of my statement cut out
of it's (<-note) context.
Enough.
