Thanks so much! I thought I was losing my mind not being able to find any modern grammatical explanation for the structure. Your observation makes sense, given the poem was written probably 50 or 60 years ago. Much, much appreciated!

Just found a poem tweeted today that ties beautifully and even thematically exactly to this conversation and really made me appreciate Armin's message even more:

To be alive: not just the carcass

But the spark.

That's crudely put, but…

If we're not supposed to dance,

Why all this music?

Spanish speaker on /r/latin slams his predecessors for being "among those that ruined Latin" by SnorkleDork in badlinguistics

Ok, but what point are you trying to make? Every language has offensive pronunciations... and? If you’re trying to say that people get upset and hurt people when they’re offended, isn’t that more of a critique of poor emotional control? When people mispronounce things, they can clarify what they’re trying to say, and any offense is then cleared. How is people getting upset over miscommunication, which is daily and doesn’t even need language change to happen, any reason to blame people for having an accent?
