Ooh I second that!
I could be mistaken, but I thought that according to the MLA, it was generally frowned upon to use the plural as a gender neutral term. You see what college does for you? Dick (I don't mean that literally).
Stirling, I breathe a sigh of relief. I didn't think you were the type, and now I feel affirmed in my belief. One never does know, however.
I'd like to note that there is a difference, even if it is subtle, between abbreviations or grammatical relaxations in the interests of expediting communication or writing in an informal setting, and basic grammar fucktardedness.
Like that there, see? I know 'fucktardedness' isn't a word. YOU know 'fucktardedness' isn't a word. It expresses the proper sentiment, however, and I'm smart-like 'n that, so YOU know that I know better (that was tongue in cheek for the record, but you catch my drift).
