To CNN: Remember, it's my language you're abusing.

No, it is not. It's their language too. There is no central authority which hands down the rules of the English language, only common agreement and a shared understanding. If a collection of words and punctuation has clearly expressed an idea, then it has served its purpose.

Rules of grammar are useful, but getting too pedantic and authoritarian about them can do nothing but suck the joy out of your life.
