Ah, you mean I should gear my preferences around the less than 1% of people I communicate with who mangle words for efficiency, forcing the inefficient process of deciphering the communication onto me, rather than around the more than 99% of people who will say things such as, "... So I was, like... totes whatevs, right... Cos... You know?" Actually, in a more serious tone, I believe in the evolution of language, and I accept it will change in ways that don't match my preferences. We have such a rich and beautiful language, and I appreciate people who are articulate, and will naturally gravitate towards them in conversation. I don't expect anyone to feel any loss if I wander away from a conversation because the way the person who is speaking is making me want to beat them into a coma with a heavy thesaurus.
