    Not all change of language is good.

    Ah, you mean the book about a prescriptivist policy of grammar coming top-down from government, that one?

    And how the way that people rebelled was intentionally misuse of the rules in a "you didn't say I couldn't use it this way!", a form of descriptivism

    Read 1984, if forget why
