... Likewise, Oscar Wilde asked an English journalist to look over 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' before publication: "Will you also look after my 'wills' and 'shalls' in proof. I am Celtic in my use of these words, not English." Wilde's novel upset virtually every code of late Victorian respectability, but he had to get his modal auxiliaries just right.

... [In 'Pride and Prejudice'] Mr Collins's repulsiveness in his letter [about Lydia's elopement] does not exist only at the level of the sentence: it permeates all aspects of his rhetoric. Austen's point is that the well-formed sentence belongs to a self-enclosed mind, incapable of sympathetic connections with others and eager to inflict as much pain as is compatible with a thin veneer of politeness. Whereas Blair judged the Addisonian sentence as a completely autonomous unit, Austen judges the sentence as the product of a pre-existing moral agent. What counts is the sentence's ability to reveal that agent, not to enshrine a free-standing morsel of truth.
Mr Darcy's letter to Elizabeth, in contrast, features a quite different practice of the sentence, including an odd form of punctation ... The dashes in Mr Darcy's letter transform the typographical sentence by physically making each sentence continuous with the next one. ... The dashes insist that each sentence is not self-sufficient but belongs to a larger macrostructure. Most of Mr Darcy's justification consists not of organised arguments like those of Mr Collins but of narrative. ... The letter's totality exists not in the typographical sentence but in the described event.

لا تطلق واو الجماعة ولا الضمير "هم" إلا على الذكور العقلاء. أما جماعة غير العقلاء فيعود عليها الضمير المؤنث مفرداً أو مجموعاً. البضائع شحنتها أو شحنتهن.

والتعريف في "ال" العهدية حقيقي لفظاً ومعنىً، وفي "ال" الجنسية لفظي فقط فما دخلت عليه معرفة لفظاً نكرة معنى، ولذا كانت الجملة بعد المعرفة بـ "ال" العهدية حالية دائماً لأن صاحبها معرفة محضة، والجملة بعد المعرف بـ "ال" الجنسية يجوز أن تكون حالاً مراعاة للفظ وأن تكون صفة مراعاة للمعنى.

إذا أردت تعريف عدد فإن كان مضافاً عرفت المضاف إليه مثل عندي خمسة الكتب المقررة وتسع الوثائق المطلوبة؛ وإن كان مركباً عرفت الجزء الأول: اشتريت الخمسة عشر كتاباً والسبع عشر صحيفة.
وإن كان معطوفاً ومعطوفاً عليه عرفت الجزأين معاً مثل: أحضر الثلاثة والخمسين ديناراً.

Where was the threshold, between the inner world and the outer one? We each move unthinkingly through this gateway every day, we use the passwords of grammar--I say, you say, he and she, it, on the other hand, does not say--paying for the privilege of sanity with common coin, with meanings we've agreed on.
Margaret AtwoodLet me just acknowlege that the function of grammar is to make language as efficent and clear and transparent as possible. But if we’re all constantly correcting each other’s grammar and being really snotty about it, then people stop talking because they start to be petrified that they’re going to make some sort of terrible grammatical error and that’s precisely the opposite of what grammar is supposed to do, which is to facilitate clear communication.
