I resolve to no longer cringe (outwardly) at the misuse of "there's".
It is a lost cause; "there's" is now defined as "there exists one or more". "There are" is still a valid construction, of course, but will soon be marked as "archaic".
I resolve to no longer correct "John and me" in the nominative case, or "John and I" in the accusative or dative cases.
It's too hard to remember "I" versus "me", so we'll just allow either, whichever sounds "better" at the time. I will, however, continue to rally against "me and John", because etiquette dictates you name the other party first. And if I ever hear "I and John", well, I cannot be held responsible for my actions.
I resolve to blog more often.
No matter what excuse I might give, there's really no excuse to not point out the obvious failings of others (hey, I didn't resolve to be nice this year), so I shall strive to post more often. I'm already ahead of 2008, where I didn't post a single thing...
Happy 2009, readers!
