Getting Buzzed

What is English coming to?

The other day, as I was perusing Google News in search of an interesting story to read, this gem of a headline caught my eye:

President Bush: Get Use To Iraq Civil War

That's right! Don't like the Iraq Civil War? Get use to it!

In addition to slapping the concept of a past participle in the face (it should read "get 'used' to it"), the author of this Bayou Buzz article also manages to make Nathaniel Webster turn in his grave by capitilazing the tiny preposition "to" in their title. If it doesn't start or end the title, don't capitalize tiny prepositions! They are perfectly cute the way they are.

Of course, I am an insufferable stickler. Forgive me. However, my opinions on this issue (because it is totally an issue) are best expressed in an essay written by my friend and associate Brent Warren III: Is English Dead?

I pray to the Christian God that the answer is "no."
