It seems to me that grammatical usage and "proper" English have gone by the wayside. I laughingly say that I am probably one of three people in the world who still cares about not splitting an infinitive. I taught four rules in my grammar classes for many years: 1) language changes; 2) change in language is a natural thing; 3) usage is relative; and, 4) usage is determined by an educated majority. I sometimes wonder where the educated majority is hiding. It really saddens me to see language totally dominated with LOL, OMG, etc., when we have such beautiful words we could/should be using.
