I hate buzzwords! It's not "carbon," it's "carbon dioxide"

And what about these stupid yellow ribbons everywhere? I hate that too!

    Can Grammar Snobs Get Into This Discussion?

    Please stop saying "different than." It is different from. Please stop saying, "..and I" when you mean, ...and me.

    And PLEASE stop saying, "EK CETERA!" It is et cetera. Et means and in Latin. Ek is not a word in Latin.

    If you do not care about this stuff, please just do not talk. If you do not know about this stuff, please learn about it.

    I never will say, "carbon" again. Thanks for this letter.
