The wife is on a trip with her family. I'm cooking for myself tonight

Well I know what kind of techie you are.
"Uh, using 'proper english' is pretty racist because it forces people of color to conform to your colonial understanding of language'"

I am a software developer and sever admin, but I don't get offended by that. That was an obviously reaching statement on your part. His incessant use of proper English in casual situations was specifically brought up by a few co-workers when we were meeting to discuss this, but the final reason was everyone felt that he considered himself above the rest of us.

>why should it be homogenous?

I never said it should be. I was asking the person I was talking to if he or she would honestly be "offended" by a message written in proper grammar.

My family is from one of those colonies, so, yeah, my understanding of language could accurately be called "colonial"

You're doing that "unless the person states their race and/or gender they're a white male" thing, stop doing that. It's racist and sexist ;^)

You're exactly right. Changes in language are subtle. That's why we still speak English over a thousand years after its Inception. But the way we speak it has changed significantly over that time frame through subtle changes over time.

I think the word advancement is being taken the wrong way here. I'm equating Advanced and efficient when I say this. But whether efficient is Advance or not depends on your point of view.

We have developed words and contractions that replace entire phrases. Perhaps if I had said efficient instead of advanced this conversation wouldn't be happening.

No.
