I'm occasionally a grammar Nazi, although I try to restrain myself. I learned in history in college that when a civilization is due for collapse, the collapse is almost always preceded by extreme bastardization of the language spoken. So when I see English getting bastardized, well, ya gotta wonder, is our time almost over now too?

As far as bra, bro and dude go, I'm old, so I'm still a 'dude' dude. Heh.
