But not about grammar Nazis ;)


We should all care about communicating our ideas in a correct and concise way. This rise of anti-intellectualism must end or we're all dead.


If it is equally understandable to most people and uses fewer words that would make it technically the most concise way to express the idea.

Defeating Anti-Intellectualism doesn't mean being antagonistic to non-native speakers. Intellectual != Asshole

Edit: Communicating in proper english is great till you're choking and you put your hands around your neck and pray the people around you understand your "sign language" so you don't die
