In devotion to the English language which shines so brilliant in her grammatical complexity that I only recently have come to know the difference between:
- We miss you – and –
- We have been missing you

Prescriptivism vs Decriptivism
Linguistic discussion considers descriptic and prescriptic attitudes towards language use. Correct me if I am wrong descriptists allow a broader use of language such as “to boldly go where no woman has gone before,” while prescriptivists consider the splitting of the infinitive “to boldy go,” as opposed to “to go boldly” as a improper use of language.
