Word. Word word worditty word word word. I hate that about the English language.

Also, hahaha, I love that paper, although I'm pretty certain it's aimed at laypeople--talk about language purity to a linguist and they turn their nose up at you and call you a prescriptivist.

(...that's another one: I want it to be acceptable to use "they" in the singular. The usage has a long history! I do not understand why we persist in insisting it's wrong. English needs a gender-neutral third person singular that isn't disrespectful.)
