Is your sense of humour as warped as mine?.....

Hardly warped Dingo, I almost spewed coffee onto my keyboard. Unfortunately, I would guess that only 3% or so of the members here would know what a "pedant" is in the first place, largely due to government funded education.

Carry on mate!

I am, if your numbers are correct, one of the three percent.
Yes, I have had several teachers who were that way.
On the 'up-side' we communicate.
On the 'down-side' our language deteriorates.

But, that is the way it has always been.
Crude talk becomes slang, slang goes into the Dictionary, then becomes acceptable.
One example ...
The actual word, "Egoism" entered our language, thanks to Sigmiod Fraud.
'Ego' from Latin, "ism' a form added to countless words as 'an advocate of'.
Then "Egoism" became "Egotism". Just weird.
You NEVER hear of Communtism,
Maotism,
Republictism,
Elitetism,
Communicatism ...

Yes. Language changes constantly, and will always continue to do so.
 
I have no idea of how to make a neat sign, but one I always liked went along this line ...

"I no longer believe the 'voices', but they do have some good ideas".
