To which someone replied, 'English follows other languages down dark alleyways, beats them up and goes through their pockets for loose syntax and grammar.'

The comments also brought up a midatlantic divide of which I had only recently become fully aware, that 'thorough' in US English is pronounced something like 'thurrow' whereas I (and from the commentary in the Facebook thread, most of the English-speaking world) pronounce more like 'thurrer' (or 'thurra')

yeah, I questioned the 'er' of 'thorough'.......those goddam provincial colonists have thoroughly ruined the language
