Say what you like. The language is as it is by choice. Were it, for some
reason, to change we would then be receiving posts every week that
didn't understand the *new* behavior.

Sometimes people just have to learn to confirm with reality instead of
requiring reality to confirm with their preconceptions. This is one such
case.
