There's been an increasing level of
chatter in the threads taking exception to unorthodox "punctuation' and illogical
paragraph structure,
not to mention vociferous disagreement about how words should be spelt or weather spelling matters atoll.
As the Cellar has grown in membership, it is natural that the community should grow in diversity. However, some have argued that we must all speak the same language to be clearly understood.
There is no debate that such a language should be English (or what passes for English in Philadelphia) as a minimum standard.
However, German or Spanish may be attempted in User-hosted Forums or sigs.
It's often difficult to be sure how to express oneself without fear of being whacked with the nearest post if an error becomes evident.
This is not a mute point. I
will be heard.
It's not Cellar style to be bound by rules that Strunk in 1918. Free students may follow the Standard of Style from
The Free Student, which make sense IMHO... and it's a publication that contains other good articles about politics, as well.
Editor's note: Anyone who is humourously challenged can be assured that I am only pulling your leg.
