The way English grammar is "evolving," even university grads sometimes sound uneducated, like the unfortunate who don't have the money for higher training or the innate smarts. I'm all for the new words and short forms and techy terms, but when I start hearing things like "there's no accidents on the 401 too," well, ya jus gotta wonder, don cha? Thank goodness that 680 has you Lisa, and Paul, to at least please the ears of your business audience.
