CHAPTER

Navigating Linguistic Dilemmas

The chapter explores the concept of feign knowledge and the annoyance of grammar correction by individuals who are incorrect themselves. It discusses the balance between being a 'gromando' (guardian of grammar rules) and a 'wordy' (lover of words) while reflecting on personal experiences with language changes. The chapter aims to help individuals reconcile their inner grammar guardian and word enthusiast by understanding the evolving nature of language and exploring linguistic dilemmas.
