Bear in mind t#at many #umans become competent users o Englis# as a
oreign or second language wit#out E(E0 studying grammar. Also bear in
mind t#at t#ere are many people wit# a compre#ensive *nowledge o Englis#
grammar w#o cannot spea* t#e language , t#ese$ t#e victims o people on
boards o e7aminers and E&' businesses$ w#o are all sincerely interested
in grammar as a means o ma*ing money. %#ese perverse superbeings
