I asked why so much old users had gone away because mostly they (like Buzzword, Bob, hs4mm and several others) supported those discussion about the language, so it's hard to figure out what was the reason and what was the consequence. The discussions are getting dumbed down more and more every month. Yes, it’s sad that this forum is not about the language anymore.

In linguistics as science (and the contemporary linguistics is closer to logical or mathematical formalism than to humanities) there is no room for subjective opinions about "good" or "bad" uses of language. It describes the actual state of languages in many levels of complexity (from particular dialects and languages to language as such). Prescriptivism is not the matter of science, but politics and social engineering. Use of the uniform variant of language by all the citizens of a country is advantageous to the territorial and social consistency of the country. I can accept this argument. Prescriptivists are rather against innovations, but without them language wouldn't be constantly developing. On the other hand, too many innovations can impair the process of communication, especially between people of different social backgrounds, so teaching people the "standard" variant of the language is useful. But if a "non-standard" variant is used inside a particular group and don't bring any possibility of misunderstanding, that seems to be OK. I agree with most aLx’s comments.

How do I become the teachers pet? Is petting involved? Yes... that 7 note scale is great. It can be figured out logically by using any string and plucking harmonics on it. *Like*... if you start with a G-string and pluck 1/3 the length it is a D note What’s up with that umbrella (in the video)?
