All of the ephemera that is far too trivial to be bothered with elsewhere on this site or, depending on your point of view, a meta-commentary on it. This ephemera includes, but is not limited to art, music and literature. Most of the content here will be discussed in terms that are as abstract as possible, reality being a singularly overrated concept.
"Never again must we argue about whether singular they is an aberration or a useful and much-needed dialectal "innovation", legitimized by a centuries-long history. Never again will we discuss the logic of the prohibition against splitting infinitives, asking whether "to go boldly" sounds stupid, or whether traditions in translating Biblical Greek and Latin should have any sway over modern usage... The Original English Movement seeks to resolve this conflict and end this struggle by fully embracing the notion that English should not change--not now, not in the future, not even in the past. "
The example that tends to irritate me most is the apostrophe in 'it's.' Left to its own devices (i.e. without 'assistance' from grammatical conservatives), this grammatical aberration would have been ironed out of the language long ago, so that an apostrophe would be consistently included, with the context making the distinction between the possessive and the contraction of 'it is' perfectly clear.
