origin415 rated 9 days ago- droe, I didn't know the central purpose of academia was to enforce a set of rules on our language that have no bearing on whether someone else understands it. I thought it was for, you know, academics. Stuff that might actually matter.

- The rules for the dialect you and your friends speak are arbitrary; those for standard English are not. They're tied to Latin grammar because Latin... well, 'cause for a long time in Europe, you had to know Latin to learn all that stuff that the people around you didn't know but the people who lived more than 1,500 years before you did, but also 'cause Latin's a dead language, so it won't change over time. If you let a language's rules change naturally, it turns into other languages. This is what happened to Latin; when Rome fell and there were no central authorities to enforce a central grammaticality in Latin, its dialects turned into Spanish, French, Catalan, Italian, Romanian, and so on. You can see how that's a problem if you're trying to communicate clearly to many people over a large geographical area in which many languages could otherwise develop. Such is the central purpose of academia.
The reason why academia sucks, such that it does, is 'cause people in it don't seem to know or care to explain the reasoning behind the enforcement--not 'cause they carry it out. - The rules for the dialect you and your friends speak are arbitrary; those for standard English are not.

- It makes a good point, that English in school should be more 'loose'. The comic sucked though.

- Thank god someone said this! Grammar Nazis are evil. There's a difference between communicating well and communicating according to arbitrary rules of protocol that are totally arbitrary.

- This is a horrid, horrid comic. Please, if you cannot get past paint in your crappy drawing, do not, I repeat, do not make someone else look at your crappy comic.
