Surfing late last night I came across this discussion,
that some may be interested in. More interesting than the fact that this article is there, among the discussions of preterite in Hindi and dopes who can't find a passive verb in a hand bag (though that is interesting), are the attitudes (and sometimes, misconceptions) in the comments (of an admittedly small and, maybe, strange sample.) At least they were to me. (btw, Erin got there before me.)
Something else nice, but completely different, that one of my bookmarks gave me this morning is here. (I recommend poking f11 as soon as you open the link. Here is part 1 of the series.)

The Mother Tongue
The thing I love about English is its flexibility. Despite the best efforts of the Grammar Gestapo to impose some sense of order to the language of Shakespeare, it continues to refuse to be caged in or tied down.

There is a book called the history of english which is a very good book to read and it was also a public broadcasting special here in the US.
