#WritersCoffeeClub day 21: What's a (maybe silly) hill you're willing to defend?
Language changes, and descriptivism beats prescriptivism most of the time... but "should/would/could of" is NOT okay. It's "have", not "of".

#WritersCoffeeClub day 22: What's a writing skill you wish you were better at? Writing with any conciseness at all. I.e., being able to aim for X many words, and not wind up producing more than, say, 1.1X words (instead of roughly 4.5X, which is what I'm doing right now).
