The Crusades are alive and well
Who ever said that the Crusades had to be religious? I, Lady Grammaria, am setting for on yet another. Less important than the plea for "ly" after adverbs, but certainly more important than how one pronounces "either" and "neither". This Crusade is in the defense of the noble word Definitely. I cannot vouch for past generations, but this common and hardy word is being massacred in the form of the pronunciation "Def-int-ly". I, myself, have sometimes been caught into this trap, but now am calling for reinforcements in the Crusade for Definitely's proper pronunciation!

Lady Grammarian,
Surely you not meant "set forth" as opposed to "set for", or am I missing some quirk of grammer?
Actually, I meant "Surely you meant", not "Surely you not meant" :)
I reworded the sentence and published without completely proofreading it. I guess that makes me unqualified to be a Master Grammarian!
