I see your point, but I don't equate an imprecise use of language with evil. For Gwhanos to use grammar evily, there would need to be some evil intent. His last post appears more careless rather than deliberate.

In my humble opinion, a truly evil use of grammar would be one that deliberately breaks the rules and then corrupts others into following that example (i.e. A campaign encouraging others to rid the objective pronoun "whom" from their vocabulary). Leading others toward a total corruption of the English language? That would be powerful and evil.

You mean - we'd all speak like AMERICANS?!?
