I think #3 is a bit more complicated, though. It's possible to be coherent, eloquent, expressive and have a unique voice without focusing on completely proper language use. A great example of crossing the mundane/absurd with the proper uber-english is Manny Farber. He's perhaps the best film reviewer that ever existed because his unique method of inter-mingling the lofty with quotidian slang. He's a hero of mine!<br /> <br /> Hooray for Manny Farber! Read "Negative Space" if you haven't already! <br /> <br /> Thanks Aaron,<br /> Lim. Good post. I think #3 is a bit more complicated, though.

“Tho” Jody is a fine use of the term. I think it’s more appropriate use of the word than “Though”, I mean, who figured that one out? LOL “Let’s just add a ton of consonants at the end of it to confuse everyone in thinking it’s “Through” or “Thought” but mispelled” :(

Actually, quite a few people use it. I’m not one of them, but those people are out there — along with the ME users (my condolences to them…) So I would expect they’re grateful for the few pages that still offer info on those topics.
