misguided in its ignorance of subcultural jargon rules

Subcultural jargon is a corruption of the English language: it HAS no rules. It's an exception to the rules.

Your ad hominem attacks on someone is patently right just underscores the real truth: you're trying to form an elitist group.

The manual page lists the acronym as a correct usage of perl. You say it's not. You're wrong. The man page is definitive; that's it's purpose.

You can invent nonsense words like backronyms; you can bitch about my spelling or grammar or other trivialities, but the truth of the matter is you are wrong. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it.

I'm sick of people like you, who are just looking for a reason to sneer at other people who don't agree to play by stupid rules of an elistist subculture of arrogant twits.
