[Leica] A S2 blog entry

[passaro.vince at gmail.com (Vince Passaro)]

oh puhleeze. as a teacher of mine once said, a world-respected scholar in
the history of modern english -- "spelling is a bourgeois preoccupation."
english has no academy and no formal set of rules, and almost every
grammatical so-called rule you were taught in english has numerous
exceptions. it is a fluid and changeable language and this is a crucial part
of its vigor and its beauty.

i hope i've impacted someone on this.

actually, i  hate 'impact' as a verb. but i don't claim it's a rule. i just
claim people who use it aren't my friends, and when i've had to work for
them i've been miserable.
