Tiny mini-rant

[taimatsu]

A swift rant about something driving me nuts on and off at the moment.

Kittens. People. Two different things.

You are not a kitten. Your friends and social group are not kittens. Bisexuals are not kittens. Only kittens, young instances of the animal commonly called a cat, are, in fact, kittens. Please remember this. Thank you.

And the day you can prove that in a court of law is the day the world shall be free of the constraints of poor English.

Well, exactly. It's a personal crusade, and people are free to disagree with me, and then ignore and/or flame me if I annoy them too much. But they're still WRONG, and a thousand thousand grammar books, English teachers, librarians, and philologists agree with me.
