My Dearest "Beardy"
(I do hope you will pardon my presumptious
familiarity in your title)
My studies in both semiotics and linguistics have proven to me that language, including grammatical correctness is, almost organic in nature by the way it evolves. In some cases it is as mutable or if you will, whimsical as the designated "propriety" or "impropriety' in clothing fashion.

For instance the words shit and fuck which are largely considered at the very least rude. And yet they were originally considered quite proper Anglo-Saxon language. The Romans decided that anything associated with Anglo-Saxons was so disgusting that even the language became itself reprobative.

Similarly the word spinster which is an equivelent to the somewhat denigrating "old maid" originally was to refer to a woman who did not need to marry, as she had her own living, which she earned by spinning.

So, to you I say.

What theee hell r u gitten yer knickers in a twist for,with all this grammer schoolin stuff, if ah jes wate long enuff my apostrofee will be kinsidered fine n proper. Smatter o fact it could be okee bah sundown. So youu jes mahnd her own beezwax wudja.
Affectionately,
Yers in jestin
Gabbi
