Hmm--just because Anu lists "wrong" words, doesn't mean he's a descriptivist, she said prescriptively.
However, I'd almost be willing to bet a small amount of money that he is--he's evinced too much joy in the process for me to think otherwise.
It's the usage that determines the flow of language. Can the same be said for grammar? What about punctuation--can the apostrophe be saved?
