In my defense, I only listen to them when they agree with me. ;)

Most disturbing though, the Royal Academy has lately embraced Latinamerican dialects, an act which everyone should obviously disregard as foolish and crazy.

More disturbing is having an insitition regulating language.

It's not as if we really listen to it too much, anyway.

And yet it exists.

It's a place for crotchety old academics to try hard to keep up to date with the XXth century. It has little to no effect on the language spoken in real life.

Is Iorm crotchety?

:yes:
