Dear Humans,

The way humans use language is always changing. You and I–we–are each and all the drivers of that change. That’s the way it’s always been, and I think it’s the way it always will be.

In such an ever-changing situation, memorizing rules doesn’t help us as much as recognizing  patterns. The only rule in communication is to be understood. And as life changes and technology changes, we find different ways to do that.

But if you become the type of thinker who can recognize those patterns, hear those patterns, and follow those patterns, you’ll always be understood and you’ll always understand.

And that’s the best thing a human can be.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
