I didn't read your post Patrick. Was a bit long...

(sorry ;)


Re idiomatic, yes! It's another one word contradiction. Like 'ineffable'.

I think you've got a good point Patrick. Essentially the web now contains
all formats of language, so just like print, you have to asses you audience.
If you're writing any form of public information meant to be accessible to a
demographic, try to make sure its language and styling is accessible to all
that demographic. The broader your target audience, the more this effects
the language that can be used without disadvantaging a significant portion
of it. I'd say...
