</span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Exactly how do you decide what it "should" be?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Consolas">Granted the way
people use it is how it is and should be. But, I said “should be” based
to two reasons. I began to notice that it sounded odd or out of whack
when I would hear it. Then, I began to think
about what it means and what it says. Comparing denotation to
connotation. They just don’t match up to me. So, that’s how I decided in
this case.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Consolas"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Consolas">I’ll also
concede that innumerable (and I mean innumerable) things are not the way
they “should be” according to me. I’ve become quite accustomed to by
now (sardonic half smile).</span></p>
