Speak proper!

Did you know that there is a Queen's English Society?  No, me neither.  It's been around for 40 years, it seems, and its purpose is to champion the correct use of the language.  Well "is" will soon be "was" because it has finally given up the ghost and admitted defeat in the face of creeping Americanisms and text speak.  Of course it was always doomed to failure because, as has been mentioned many times before, language doesn't stand still and any attempt to put it in a straightjacket of "proper usage"  is bound to fail in the long run.  So farewell, Queen's English Society - nice try but no cigar.
