The worst part is the pedants aren't even right most of the time. I've seen so many people complaining about perfectly acceptable sentence structure.

I tell myself they're just younger folks that have been failed by their schools, but then I get sad that they're younger folks that have been failed by their schools.

Actually, it's not always young kids, we all suck at grammar and that's okay. If clear communication took place, who cares?

The problem is that they're not recognizing clear communication and yet assume anything that confuses them is a mistake made by another.
