Re: "Gage"

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

This is actually one of my favorite rant subjects, especiall
the to/too/two example, but I wouldn't fall back on this
in the case of spelling variations for the same word that
have both been considered valid since before my 
grandfather was born.

  But we recently had this argument on this very list, about
  assure/ensure/insure.  Those are distinct words. They have distinct
  meanings with not a lot of overlap. Munge them all together and use them
  as though they are completely interchangeable, and you have destroyed
  your ability to make those distinctions. You have helped to cripple your
  language and reduce some of its range and subtlety. Congratulations, how
  does it feel to be one who raises the average IQ of a room... by
  departing?

  How long before we succumb to those who can't differentiate among
  to/too/two?  They're at the gates!  Gasp! Wheeze!.... Kak! (oops,
  hairball)
