Neat.  I happen to disagree, as most of my language is
barbaric/mutated slang that's usually specifically engineered towards
a particular reader and apparently obfuscated to others.  (Think
"inside jokes")  But to be honest, i'm not enough of a student to
learn proper English.

There's a lot of even more interesting reading buried a couple of
