I vote for me too.

When voting here, please reply **directly** to *this_post*.

How about a little DISCIPLINE in here!
As if voting for yourself wasn't sufficiently pathetic.

You *do* know who you are talking to here, don't you?

WhoM you are talking to! Sheesh!!! What ignorance!!!!

To whom, of whom, who cares?

Most likely they who (them whom?) review your next manuscript.

Many of my more egregious grammatical sins pass peer review.

Go, and sin no more.

Grammatical purity arguments are almost always about class. As I am
classless (nobody will have me) I can speak what I like to.

People with poor grammar say it is about class. People who know
grammar also know it is about virtue.

People who know about class say that claims about virtue are about class
:-)

Of course! Virtue is a noble grace, limited to those elite few of us
who share a single common ancestor. The corresponding gene, vrt, has
been found in 91% of the Heriditary Peerage (the other 9% are assumed
to be imposters) but only 12% of life peers (assumed derived through
bastardy). It is virtually absent (irony intended) from commoners.
