I was thinking about this the other day, watching a show on The Ten Commandments. They were talking about the "take not the Lord's name in vain" law, and how it was originally meant because by swearing in god's name, you were calling him down as a witness. The point being, that words are powerful.

Words ARE powerful, which is why maybe we get so passionate about them. I just people would be more passionate about grammar and spelling, if words are so important.
