"Do you know her favorite color is pink or that she's afraid of spiders ?
Do you know she can't sleep without at least two pillows?
or that when someone mentions you her eyes sparkle?
Do you know her favorite song or at least her favorite band?
She doesn't like to say i love you if she thinks she may not mean it.
Did you know she hates arguing, but that she's good at it?
She loves the way you look at her, but hates to go a day without talking to you.
She only giggles if you look at her, but she loves the fact that you do.
The only thing that bothers her is when people walk into her life and she knows they can't stay.
You are her only love, break her heart && it will take awhile for her to get over you."

What does it add to the language, other than complexity, by insisting that speech use this word over that word, even if the meaning is clear? To demonstrate...
"For whom the bell tolls." or "For who the bell tolls." and other similar sentences. Is there a difference in meaning when it is said either way, or just considered incorrect regardless of the fact the meaning is clear?
Another approach might be the language use of children. Where one might say "I break my toys." and then later say "You breaked my toys." What purpose does it serve to insist it be said "You broke my toys", if the meaning and logic are clear?
When a word changes the intended meaning of a sentence is obvious, but if it doesn't, what's the harm?
Keep in mind that I'm asking about the harm inflicted to the language and not the simple effect of having people correct you all the time.
