        I was able to clearly understand your message even though you defied prescriptive conventions by using “gotta”

        Gotta love how language evolves. I’m going to fuck up so many conventions today, just you wait and see!

      When it comes to grammar and syntax it makes sense though. Common rules help us understand each other.

      Except that we’re talking about individual words here. It’s not as if we’re saying verbs are over now or that all sentences have to be all “Shaka, when the walls fell” or something.

      You could have made that point without being rude towards the entirety of the STEM community, but chose not to.

      You’re in a discussion about language but unable to navigate analogy? Or even just be civil and engage in a respectful manner? Maybe sit this one out.
