Where did this dichotomy come from? Who came up with the idea that correct spelling and grammar are somehow inimical to self-expression? Who are all these poor souls whose creativity has been forever blighted by having to use its and it's properly? Granted there are some special cases who need to have allowances made, as Woodbeez mentions, but for most people, surely this is a false dichotomy and they can manage both.
Is it a sign of my increasing age or what, that people only seem to be happy at the extremes and all issues become polarised so that we have to choose either/or rather than have both?
