    In brief, the puristic attitude towards language – the idea that there is
    an absolute standard of correctness that should be maintained – has its
    origin in a natural nostalgic tendency, supplemented and intensified by
    social pressures. It is illogical, and impossible to pin down to any firm
    base. Purists behave as if there was a vintage year when language
    achieved a measure of excellence which we should all strive to maintain.
    In fact, there never was such a year. The language of Chaucer’s or
    Shakespeare’s time was no better or no worse than that of our own –
    just different.
