I'm generally not a prescriptivist, but I'll figuratively die on this hill.

You wouldn't literally die on the hill? Doesn't sound like you're very committed. ๐Ÿ˜Œ

If it was literally a hill I would, but semantic integrity isn't actually a geological protuberance.

  2. Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
  3. Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.
