......Blog of Ephemerality......

Hey there, I'm Dom, a 23-year-old graduate student of linguistics. I'm complex and complicated and often incapable of understanding myself, but I think that's better than having a simple mind. Oh, and I'm shy in real life, I mean really shy. This doesn't mean I'm not fun though. Trust me, you'll always have a great time with me once you know me better. I'm gonna post on here whatever I feel like: thoughts, rants, pictures, quotes, self-written poems, and all the stuff you post on tumblr. Don't hesitate to leave any kinds of questions and messages. I'd really like to get to know you. Seriously, do it. This function exists for a reason ;D

languages are supposed to change and evolve

that’s what they do

so don’t be an asscramp about “he and I”/”him and me” because you still know what the speaker means, don’t you, and you are STIFLING THE GROWTH

Exactly. It’s funny anyway. People started saying this like It’s me and no one cared expect for some prescriptivists. They started bashing everyone using object pronouns when subject pronouns “should” be used so that people got paranoid and hypercorrection took place, so people started saying things such as She bought it for her and I, which some people started complaining about as well. Now many people are just utterly confused. But it doesn’t even matter because no one should give a flying fuck if you say between you and me or between you and I. Everyone fucking understands you.
