Stephen Fry on Language (see below) is one of my favorite videos. It was first introduced to me in a literature class a few years ago. Now the editor part of me wants to disagree about the lack of need for a strict use of language, but the lover of words side of me delights in the world's ability to adapt and change language to fit into our new landscape.
I love language's ability to evolve but don't try to make it evolve in anything I have to edit.
Brilliant, as per usual. ;)
