Read this in an impassioned voice to my esteemed partner, Stephen, trying to put him in his place!
Language is mobile and liable to change. It is a free country, and man may call a "vase" a "vawse", a "vahse", a "vaze", or a "vase", as he pleases. And why should he not? We do not all think alike, walk alike, dress alike, write alike, or dine alike; why should not we use our liberty in speech also, so long as the purpose of speech, to be intelligible, and its grace, are not interfered with?
-- Sir James Murray, first editor of the Oxford English Dictionary But he believes what he believes. He simply will not be put. Right is right. But that's why I love working with him. It's the battle.
