By the way, nice looking WordPress theme. One gripe, though – I can’t seem to check the box beside ‘Notify me of follow-up comments by email’.

I agree entirely with what you are saying. The real point here is not to be a grammar Nazi, but that by using correct words, spelling, and punctuation one really can communicate better.

One thing I may take exception to, however, is that you might have the idea that English is static, that there is only one precisely correct way to speak and write. But that just isn’t true. Also, we really can’t kill English (unless we no longer speak it to our children). All languages change over time, even those with a rich literary history. It may seem impossible to those of us who notice this minutia, but certain usages that are ungrammatical today, may be entirely acceptable sometime not so far into the future.
