I confess it freely; I am a native English speaker though I do speak other languages from time to time. I am also a silly pedant who gets upset, as you do, about the murder of the greatest language in the world. This said I do not feel that I have the right to give a hard time to less well educated chaps. Unless I have my tongue firmly emplanted in my cheek or perhaps after one or two glasses which will be thoroughly denatured before they see the light of day again.
I welcome criticism and I hope that it has given you as much pleasure to write it as it gives me to think of you fuming while you did so.
