Put this in your pipe and smoke it, brother!

The development of language lies in the necessary tension between common (de facto) use and proper (de jure) use. Our language would seem disgusting and nearly incoherent to the people of (for instance) Victorian England. Likewise, we see their common use as pretentious and stuffy.
Language is constantly developing, and most of this development lies in de facto conventions becoming de jure. One very little example: words such as 'third' and 'bird' used to be 'thrid' and 'brid' in earlier English. That changed through common use, and probably because the way we do it now is a bit easier to say. The next rules to go may be split infinitives, or something along those lines. I won't speculate. Some people say that capitalization is unnecessary and will go in the next hundred years. I don't like that for aesthetic reasons, but I guess that's more a function of familiarity than anything else.
