I won't further argue with you. It is fruitless to argue with someone whose words are capriciously transmorphic.
Aw, c'mon. Is that the REAL reason?
Put away your thesaurus and get out a dictionary. You're not impressing anyone but yourself. If I'm capricious, then so is the Oxford English Dictionary, and every other lexicon known to modern grammarians. And since that prevalence defines the status quo, it can hardly be capricious now, can it?
On the other hand, this grammatical quibble HAS hijacked the intent of this thread, so maybe we WOULD be better off letting the subject lapse.
