Grammar Made Silly

Visible to anyone in the world

Did you know people who 'knew their letters' were at one time consider to be dangerously clever?

They could could fascinate unschooled folk, and lead them astray, by employing dark knowledge of writing, and so these grammarians were called glamorous.

Be as that may*, here are some pre-release definitions from my upcoming book, Grammar Made Silly.

noun = occasionally, as in 'noun then'

adverb = a doing word, encouraging us to buy, as in 'save '

pronoun = singular of pronounce

conjunction = road intersection noted for the sale of genuine designer goods


* Subjunctive mood, let it be noted.
