You're of the same stock that misuses the word "which" and "who" when describing objects as opposed to living things. I bet you also end sentences with prepositions. You think you'll get research grants or scholarships with colloquialisms and half-assed sentence structure?

    See, that's wrong too.

    Putting up with something is a colloquialism in and of itself.

    Using the more appropriate structure "that is precisely the sort of nonsense with which I will not put up" ends up leading to ambiguity solely because that form of colloquialism relies on ambiguous sentence structure.

    The woman in that video doesn't understand the simple concept of sentence ambiguity.

    a preposition is a perfectly appropriate word to end a sentence with. With what? It'd arguably make more sense to remove "with" altogether.

    The fun in abuse of this ambiguity comes from garden path cognitive errors. A preposition is a perfectly appropriate word to end a sentence with milk, honey, and sugar cubes.

    Now imagine you're making a rather longwinded statement and your mind is already taxed enough trying to keep up with your tongue as you spout words; which is more likely to lead to garden path grammatical errors, "with which to end a sentence" or "to end a sentence with"?

    While the former presents no possibility for error, the second does, and thus it is condemned.

    Get it?

    Are you seriously suggesting that you understand the English language better than the people at Merriam-Webster? English is a highly bastardized language with many, many source languages. As a result there are practically zero definite laws when it comes to English grammar. But at its heart English is a Germanic language, a language-family where it's commonplace to end sentence with a preposition.

    Yes.

    It doesn't matter if it began as German, the psychology of language still prefers the grammar proposed by the Englishmen that the woman insults.

    I argue for the sake of increasing specificity and reducing ambiguity. You argue for the sake of being lazy with your speech and writing.

    Apparently funnyjunk prefers laziness. Go figure.

    The variety of the language? Are you serious? Another definition of can is cylindrical metal container. The English language relies on context just as much as, if not more than, any other factor in communication. Hell it's not even the only language to do that, remember that post with the Chinese story about the guy who ate lions? Phonetically speaking, it was read like Porky Pig trying to say "****".

    If that's how people want to use the work "can" then you can't really stop them, yes language is based on a set of rules but if people start not liking those rules they can change them, that's how new dialects form and in the extremest of cases new languages but that's not too common in modern times. Americans don't speak identical to the British hell even in America there are numerous different dialects.

    Then we ought to start cranking out double-plus good. It's convenient.

    I hate this notion in society that just because you like something, that's how it is meant to be.

    Words were given their definitions for a purpose, deciding to destroy the need for vocabulary for the sake convenience at the expense of sentence ambiguity is one of the most disgusting things you can do to your language.

    Languages naturally evolve to a more efficient state. Sometimes words get shortened, sometimes unnecessary words are eliminated. If we can use "can" to express the same sentiment as "may," then why use it?

    That said, the two words have different connotations, which is just as important, if not more so, than the exact definition. The use of "can" suggests a more familiar relationship between the two, while "may" suggests a formal relationship. By having two words with the same definition and different connotations, we have a better understanding of the situation than we did before and we haven't had to add even a single letter. As you can surely see, it doesn't detract from the variety of language but adds to it.

    What does that have to do with anything previously discussed? And English as you currently know it is so far removed from what it was originally written to be by its "rules." Just because it's your generation, it's automatically the iron ruled source now isn't it? You're so full of ****, that if you aren't baiting I recommend that you just exit the browser cause you don't really have a basis for your attitude to stand upon.

    Oh don't get me wrong, develop English. Make it more specific, less ambiguous. Create new words. That's not my problem. My problem is when you remove words, reduce specificity and increase ambiguity.

    That's not really the message I got from your posts, sorry then. I'll change tracks in that case, have you investigated the differences between VERNACULARS (lolgay) of the past and now? The average vocabulary is greatly extended, and the general population actually is actually Surprises me too sometimes when I read **** on the internet. more intelligent. You're mistaking the loudest population for the majority. Yoloswaggit. You look at certain demographics because that's where you spend your time, but just because it's what you see doesn't mean it's what they're capable of. Try having a real conversation with someone who posts yoloswag online in a serious setting, like in a cafe or something. They're usually very different people. Same phenomenon as when you meet someone in an online game who seems like they're handicapped typing, then you get them on voice chat and they're eloquent as ****. They're just unfamiliar with their new mediums of communication. Maybe a little ignorant in opinions in how they should behave under what settings.

    That's how language works though, Language is just a tool created and used by humans to help convey ideas and like any tool people will change it to fit their needs. do you think the first English is identical to modern English, hell no, old English looks like a different language. The funny thing is if old English hadn't evolved into modern English from the changes made by people there wouldn't be a word "can" for you to complain about.
