Never heard of this issue, but after a little googling it seems both are correct. Languages changes with time, after all. I'm not a grammar nazi, but apparently it has something to do with "linking verbs" and "predicate adjective". So you can say "I'm good" instead of "I'm well", or "he's doing good", because good describes the verb "doing", without it meaning he's doing a good deed. Idk. I had an american drumteacher a few years back, and when he asked "How are you?" and I said "Well", he waited for like 20 seconds, because he thought I was just starting a sentence with "well....". :p | ||

I agree, was just pointing out that the existing grammar rules do no rule out the use of good. Urban dictionary is probably the most updated dictionary out there, because it reflects what people actually say and what they mean by it. | ||

They're just so good vs Zerg early game nah, they're really the most skill-based unit Protoss has, maybe even in the entire game. They're shit for a low level player but if you're good you can get so much out of them. And they never mean an instant win. | ||
