Facebook To Tweak Status Updates

Compared to anything you’ll see coming from the BBC or CNN, this is admittedly a pretty minor piece of news.  Yet it’s nonetheless nice to hear that Facebook plans to drop the word “is” from its users’ status updates.

I logged onto Facebook to grab an example of the bad grammar that has resulted from the mandatory inclusion of “is,” and as it turns out, most of my friends have done a good job of adapting to the word’s presence.  So, just to make up an example, a person might get stuck saying “Joe is didn’t like the movie.”
