Rick McKinnon

The document discusses language and prescriptive grammar. It argues that language is an innate human ability, not something with rigid rules. While some think languages like Latin or English should follow strict rules, the document notes that languages evolve naturally and no language is inherently "right" or "wrong." Prescriptive grammar rules often come from trying to make languages like English conform to Latin, when they are very different types of languages.
