boggled

is it just me or have the standards of grammar been deterioratin so rapidly that it became incomprehensible?

sample the followin:

"... she works with three management consultancies who are market leader's..."

i thought it should be "which" since management consultancies are commercial entities? i even spotted a blogger that uttered, "the cat who.."

yeah animal's are living breathin creatures that have personalities also. but they are usually labelled "it" as us human's can't differentiate a tom from a queen with a mere glance; unless of course if we are very certain of its sex:

that ginge, who keeps the surrounding free of pests, impresses his owner so much that he is rewarded with fancy premium food.

so ok, there are those who'd argue that language evolves constantly, but surely grammatical rule's are to be observed? rules are in place so that people can communicate with one another intelligibly. amongst other reason's. it's not for us to mangle the language beyond recognition.

or have i become intolerable towards change?

i know, my grammar on this fine blog is not that perfect either. but hell, it's a medium where i jot my inner thought's down, hence the site title.

:D
