Do you also rail against the word "flammable"? Or is increased clarity in language okay (according to your worldview) when the alternative is people literally setting themselves on fire?

Yeah, allos really don't like aces having the language to describe our experiences. They want to shut us up about how we are, because they hate us because they think we think we're better than them.

AYRT

Having met plenty of language pedants in my time (and, er, being one myself, though my language pedantry falls along different lines than the AYRT), I think it's equally or more likely that the AYRT is sincere in their appeal to grammar.

However, I also think that there are circumstances--including this one--where language evolves in direct pursuit of greater clarity, and that this is something to be embraced rather than rejected.

Whoops, I should've said AIRT rather than AYRT in the text of my comment.
