What's hilarious is that you condescend to tell others whether or not they have a right to be peeved about any language usage. What is even more hilarious is that you have inferentially denied dictating what is or is not right or wrong in language, and yet come out with this condemnation of others for being peeved about an aspect of the English language. You constantly engaged in didactically telling others what they do or don't have the right to be peeved about, but claim not to tell others what is right or wrong in language.
You're being mighty childish yet again, Set. I do condescend to answer your idiotic responses but somebody has got to set Set straight.
I've often said, "Peeve away"; that's a clear indication that all have a right to peeve. But just be prepared to defend your peeve. Why should anyone get a free ride if they are spreading falsehoods. That may work for you, Set, but it sure doesn't for me.
You seem like a pretty intelligent guy, why don't you just grow up and find out how language actually works instead of just spreading someone else's fabrications about language.
