Instead, grammarians spend most of their time constructing specious
arguments about how what is conceivable is ungrammatical. They uniformly
demand to be treated as the infallible authority and love to cricitize
anyone who even wonders about their methodology. Rare is the flame war
that doesn't have at least one grammarian in it.
I wonder if I could get a bot to do this...
