Do you know - I think information theory could be used to argue both for and against the merits of looser conformity to grammar, and inconsistency of spelling, in different contexts.
Why are you so cross at me?Was it that difficult for you to follow the flow of the posts that you can't remember which one i was referring to?
Making up more head cannon i see.
Head cannon
It's your buns - sorry, couldn't resist. Cross is such a lovely word. I knew a Mr Cross once - he did exactly what was it said on his tin, so to speak.Why are you so cross at me?

It is isn't it. I'd love to embody my inner Jean-F; but I remember the first time I heard it in chat with a girl. Our eyes locked across a room. She asked, "dLockers, why are you cross with me?" and I knew, she would be the one.It's your buns - sorry, couldn't resist. Cross is such a lovely word.

What's head cannon please? I mean, I can make an inference, but I'm genuinely interested having not encountered the term before now.
Information in a Shannon sense? Something like Genetic Learning algorithms which jump around the solution space in a pseudo random fashion, hoping to find better performance. Such as the typing monkeys creating Shakespearian plays?
I have neutral feeling towards you.Why are you so cross at me?
Canon is material that is officially part of a story or universe. Head canon is when a person makes up their own story for said universeWhat's head cannon please? I mean, I can make an inference, but I'm genuinely interested having not encountered the term before now.
I would not have guessed that from context - thank youIt's a large calibre pistol attached to a helmet. Like a hand cannon, but mounted on your head rather than held in your hand.
What I mean is the idea that in any message there is meaning and the study of how (and how efficiently and effectively) the meaning is conveyed is described by something called information theory.
For example the English language is very inefficient at conveying meaning, as there is lots of redundancy in the language. This was demonstrated a few posts back where a message with every second word deleted was left with the meaning largely in tact. The same can be done if you remove vowels from some sentences - the meaning is often retained.
However - there are other examples where meaning is wholly contingent on a specific item of grammar, or choice of tense or plural - all of which have also been demonstrated to good comic effect in this thread. I especially liked the reference to grandma

I was being silly. Perhaps I should have been clearer about that.
I assume it was a mistaken spelling of 'head canon'.

It’s maybe been pointed out previously but should the title not be “The deteriorating standards of written English’”?
