Just to be facetious, isn't English, from the very get go, a barbaric language, left to it's devices while the British élite conversed in Latin and French? Sure, dictionaries and grammar rules have been trying desperatly to gentrify the beast for centuries, painting the whore in Latin spellings and pseudo-Latin pronounciation, but, I mean really -- sewer water is still sewer water even if you send it once or twice through an autoclave. So, what I mean to say, if the vox populi wish to basterdize a term here and there in what is already a living illegitimate language, who are we to stifle it?
