arnieA good old-fashioned grammar question.
Here's a Google Ngram view of
enjoy living / enjoy to live:

BobHaleLooks like pretty good evidence that it doesn't form part of most people's standard modern English grammar.

<Proofreader>Saw an ad today seeking funds for a group concerned with autism. Seems worthwhile but their promo urges viewers to 'Support Autism." I would certainly like to fight it, or defeat it, or rally against it, but is "support" a proper term to use in this context?

KallehI don't think it's the correct phrase, Proof. I think it should be "support research on autism" or something like that. What are they "supporting" anyway? I'd sure want to know if I were donating. I'd not want to "support" some of those stupid ideas, like that vaccinations cause autism. But I'd be all for research on causes or treatment.

<Proofreader>Vaccinations don't cause autism but autism is responsible for many political rantings.

KallehThat's for sure. I recently heard that ranting from someone whom I had previously considered a critical thinker. I think it's all emotions since autism can be so debilitating.
