I saw on the CBS Sunday Morning program an opinion piece on the use and misuse of personal pronouns like who, whom, he, she, him and her; the presence or absence of the "ly" ending on adverbs. I remember a 1960s animated cartoon in which Fred Flinstone speaks, "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should" and the instant outcry from middle school teachers that Fred was teaching an entire generation of children poor grammar. Fred eventually replied, "Wadda ya' want? Good grammar or good taste?" Putting aside the question of whether or not Fred was displaying poor taste by encouraging kids to smoke cigarettes, I will pose these questions. If and when you receive an invitation to the Horizontal Mambo from a member of SLS or other swingers' Web site and the message is loaded with spelling errors, misused (or no) punctuation marks, statements like "Him and her are friends of ours" or "we have real good sex", are you less likely to reply in the affirmative? What if the gal looks like she's a page from a Sports Illustrated Swinsuit Issue but she had the writing skill of a second-grade drop-out? What, in other words, do you want? Good grammar or good taste?
