Ignoring the author's use of the e-word, I must say I agree with the main sentiment expressed: that mistakes in spelling and punctuation are wrongly called grammatical errors by too many prescriptivists. Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life. | |||

that mistakes in spelling and punctuation are wrongly called grammatical errors by too many prescriptivists. It is a strange conceit and just part of the casually smug ignorance of what grammar really is that keeps some folks agitated and highly strung. —Ceci n'est pas un seing. | |||
