Usage question - subjunctive mood?

[Gay Alson]

I have to side with Stuart and the others who still lean toward established grammar rules.

Yes, the English language is a dynamic and constantly changing beast. Yes, communication is our main focus. However, although I may understand someone who asks for my agreement by querying "A-ight?", I am not about to use that idiomatic form in a technical manual.

And personally, I still cringe every time I read something like "This enhancement allows the user to quickly install their new software."

Okay, now I'll go quietly back to the 60s...
