How can I talk anymore? Is it time to start pronouncing the first “d” in Wednesday?

    I’m all for standards, but they’re for very specific contexts. And something can either meet the spec or not. It’s okay to point that out. That doesn’t mean it is right or wrong.

    Even language that hasn’t been formally standardized can be out of spec. Just try using very formal language when texting in the middle of a relaxed chat.
