He only got upset with lexicographers "fixing language in time" when they denied him the use of words that were obsolete when Cromwell overthrew the Stuart monarchy. All modern usage was "slang" to him, especially if it was in use by humorists trying to be funny. And we all know what Bierce thought of humorists. I don't imagine that Bierce and Twain got on at all. It's as well that Bierce isn't buried in San Francisco. On the first strains of gangsta rap, the city would have been flattened, burned, and tumbled into the sea.<BR/><BR/>Mireille: see <I><B>TELEGRAM</B></I>.
