Farewell to this thread, I have other threads to peruse so,
Hail, and well met,
Ave and aloha,
Live long and prosper.
The bruit of this posting will echo through this forum and clean out all the detritus which has been ensconced here over the past epochs by means of the besom of common sense, or the mods, whichever is the most applicable.
I am awaiting the re-arrival of the halcyon days of yore when this website was the epitome of good discussion and erudition of variegated points of widely differing opinions.
Alas, it has come to pass, that the prosaic fecundity of opinions expressed here have been ameliorated and truncated into a melange of political corrrectness which has stifled originality and allowed the proliferation of terminology which has accelerated the demise of correct English usage.
Case in point. "I could care less" is gramatically wrong and obviously the opposite of that which is intended. "I could NOT care less" is the proper phrase.
Also the proliferation of posters who talk of their equipment as gears instead of gear. Gear as a word is a singular collective noun, unlike sheep which can be a singular unit or a singular collective.
The list could go on ad nauseum, but, to refrain from further damage to the awry sensibilities of the posters and readers here, I will refrain from any further attempts at education until such time as this dose has been sufficiently assimilated and allowed to permeate through this forum and find fecund ground to germinate and blossom into a new renaissance of literary expressionism and correct grammatical usage.
Let the cloying and desultory modern expressionism employed by the general public be dispersed and consigned to the outlands of our civilisation where they may be allowed to rot and waste away into oblivion which is their due deserts.
