Prescriptivism

« how language should be used

Descriptivism

« how language is used

³Most of the prescriptive rules

of the language mavensmake no sense on any level.

They are bits of folklore that

originated for screwball

reasons several hundredyears ago« For as long as

they have existed, speakers

have flouted them«´

This usage stuff is not straightforward and

easy. If ever someone tells you that the rules

of English grammar are simple and logicaland you should just learn them and obey

them, walk away, because you're getting

advice from a fool.
