Usage Wars

I found this article about the EL usage wars. We discussed this a little in Diversity class... but thought this was a pretty good, balanced article.

The short story: the author (David Foster Wallace) has an interesting writing style and is basically a pragmatic prescriptivist regarding proper EL usage.
