"They've also continued to provide helpful..."
- KaW in Mango's description

They've -> they have
They-> plural
Mango is more than one person? What is being promoted now?

Grammar: it matters.

There are two new VKs.

It's also proper grammar to use "they" as a singular pronoun when the person's gender is unknown, or the author doesn't want to disclose the person's gender.

Be VERY careful when correcting others' grammar - especially if teh Chz is a-lurkin'.

They is an incorrect replacement for he/she.

They is still plural.

Congrats to you both!!!

The common (incorrect) usage often promotes a usage that becomes acceptable. While "acceptable", it is still incorrect.

I.E: the word literally

 

[Imitation-Cheese]

It's in the dictionary; thus, its usage was proper.

 

[IlSlTIlRIliPllPIIEllDIlIlII]

So is literally when it should be figuratively .

 

[IamKingCole]

Should we perhaps stay on topic? Also, hey Cheese 

 

[IlSlTIlRIliPllPIIEllDIlIlII]

The dictionary I'm using has a usage note that has the following example:

"The senator was literally buried alive in the Iowa primaries. "


It's in the dictionary. Does it make this acceptable? Some might say yes.

Is it correct? No.

 

[Imitation-Cheese]

How can I argue with someone who thinks the dictionary is wrong?

Hi, Cole.

 

[IlSlTIlRIliPllPIIEllDIlIlII]

Accepted vs correct: via the dictionary entry I provided.
