Lol. I really appreciate a person of refined and precise language. Language defines thought. Thought defines action. Action defines the world. :)
I'm a screenwriter, btw. The funny thing about us is that we're deliberately hellbent on throwing the rules of grammar aside in order to convey quick, visual meaning.
It's fun, but part of me always recoils at the lingual atrocities I must commit.
Here's the deal with English: once you know the rules really well, you can break them. Think Hemingway and Faulkner.
English is a spoken language -- find a way; I know you can.
