What Century Are We In?

Why do writers insist on using such archaic words as: amongst, amidst, wouldst, doest, canst, wilst? Come on! Toss them out! You're in the 21st century.

About the Grammar Anarchist

The Grammar Anarchist is a published author of books on language, an editor working with other writers, and a writing instructor (not a teacher, who can "teach" writing?) She toils from a dust-free computerized location in the Northwest (free of urban intervention).

The Grammar Anarchist has put up with the bad language habits that are running rampant in the U.S. and has pledged to do away with (destroy, eliminate, terminate, undo, get rid of) those who insist on trying to force "rules" on unsuspecting writers.

A friendly Anarchist, she is willing to help the ungrammarized to clean up their acts, exercise their control over language, and live unfettered lives of happy communication.

No words have been (or will be) harmed in the execution of this exercise.
