gridloreReading about today's San Francisco Pride Parade on the Gate, and I finally see the theme for this year..
"Out 4 Justice"
People, would it kill the printing budget to include a three-letter word instead of the text-messaging horror that English is rapidly sinking into? Can we please accept that "4" is the number between "3" and "5". and that "for" is a word in English? I can almost understand the substitution of such shortcuts if you are using a device that is difficult to use, or when speed is necessary, but here we are discussing an event that attracts millions and has a budget to match!
Save English! Or at least the American version of the language!
