Actually I'm fascinated by the irregularities of the English language and its constant evolution. For instance, I'm a big proponant of replacing the word 'night' with the much cooler 'nite'.
What I find doubly fascinating is the almost purposeful deviation from the norm, almost as an act of rebellion. Like the Drunk Monk's misspelling of 'apostrophe', even though it is clearly presented in the subject line of this thread.
Good thing he's not involved in an industry where grammar and spelling are of any importance.
Long live the living language! Down with the oppression of legacy and tradition!
And on that note:
