It's hard to pick a best quote. Contrary to what you think, the English language does not have any hard and fast rules. Whatever the masses use, becomes the language. (Which is why our language has "degraded" into text speak. It's just a simpler, more efficient way of saying things.) Language evolves over time, and this is just one of the (laughably minor) changes that has occurred. is a strong contender for criminal misunderstanding of the point, but I think this pithy little bit is the true winner:

[No, people have been going around telling everyone that it's got to be Pikachu, and that's why there's such uniformity.]

Have you ever wondered why people have been going around telling people such? Perhaps because the convention was set before you were even around these parts.
