Grammar Quiz – with a twist

Nevertheless, some expressions are recent and we mustn �t deny our youth �s amazing creative ability to manipulate the language and move it forward. Alex, you seem to know people who go around crowing about what grammar geniuses they are (they �d be laughed out the room around here); people who are lazy, stupid or blinkered. You need to move in different circles!

Naughty Lynn!  Remember what I said before about deliberate distortion and misrepresentation?
 
1) How on earth did you manage to explicitly connect a reference to a discussion about the recency illusion with the irrelevant suggestion that some people might not know that there are such things as recently-coined expressions? (I can only think that you couldn�t be bothered to check the link I gave)
 
2) Nobody is denying anybody�s "creative ability" to do anything. Why on earth would I even think about doing that?
 
3) Of course I know people who think they�re grammar geniuses � I�m sure we all do (if you�d bothered checking properly, you�d have seen in this very thread that I specifically referred to crowing about being a grammar genius as "awful"). What on earth was the point you were trying to make? 
 
4) "You need to move in different circles!" Wut?
