On what do you base the 100 year number?
If that's true, it should have been constantly resisted from the moment it started. Ever vigilant!
My point is is DOES matter how it started.
How long before "me" as a synonym of "I" becomes standard usage, since so many people misuse it that way? That should be resisted to. By force of education.
There must be a more appropriate thread somewhere here for us to continue this tangent. Writer's Corner, maybe?
