To make matters worse, you feel you must approve all comments, which flies in the face of freedom of expression. I don't expect my critical comments to be posted, since an opinionated word censor must approve it. Could it be because the few people who watched the video to the end kept calling YOU gay?
For someone who is such a stickler for language, you didn't mind the use of an extra syllable when you used the word IRREGARDLESS, which amounts to a double negative. If you meant regardless adding the prefix "ir" negates it, thereby making it regarded for. And that would be gay on your part.
What do you have to say for language evolution? You speak a different English than your parents did, using words in "different contexts" than they did. MODERN SLANG is one way that new words are created.
The use of the word DYNASTY in a different context simply shows that it has taken on a new meaning in the sports world. It just means that they have had a succesfull few years and they are now the team to beat.
Did I use that? I'll have to be more careful. I had tried for a couple of months to drop extra-grammatical uses of "like" from my speech. That proved difficult.
Curses - it didn't appear as though the first comment would show, so I made a second and now I'm actually triple posting... Oh well, stuff like this happens :(
I think monologue is a good choice for description. I was only thinking rant because most of the videos on the right hand side are called "rant" and it distracted me. I don't think you actually said could/couldn't care less - I just like pointing that one out :P. I occasionally point out oddities in Australian grammar too so I don't just pick on Americans :)
Oh I wasn't criticising you directly on the could/couldn't care less thing, that's just a friendly jab at American accents. Actually I don't think you even used the phrase "could care less" at all. Never meant anything more than to make fun of the American hi-jacking of the language in general :P
Did I say I could care less or that I couldn't? I'm typically good at catching myself at on that one. If you don't like it as a rant... consider it a monologue.
I agree completely with all you've said, but it was a fairly ordinary rant. I'm an expert ranter and a good rant usually has much more vehemence and charisma to it. Also, if you're going to talk about the misuse of English learn how to spell "colour" and that saying "I could care less" actually means you care. Australians, and I'd imagine, the English too, say "I couldn't care less" :P. Other than that, it's good to see that someone agrees with me about the English language :)
wouldn't the PATS one would be considered an
exageration?<----I no thats spelled wrong but i think u no what it is

on the whole, the English language is doing quite fine, unified language, is what keeps the economy going.
I think your mainly talking about entemology (sp) which is a normal part of any language
The term "dynasty" is also used to describe the era during which a family reigned, as well as events, trends and artifacts of that period
