I fear that this is going to upset more people than it pleases, but you can put me squarely in the “pleased and not much caring about the upset people” camp.

The online hangout Facebook is getting more serious about grammar. No more will users see jarringly incorrect declarations such as “Debbie changed their profile picture.”

Late last year, Facebook quietly dropped the “is,” allowing users to supply their own verb and write updates such as “Nick just wasted time on Facebook.”
