| 释义 | grammatical error It must have been a humorist who in the 19th century attacked the phrase grammatical error in exactly the same way the guardians of the language had attacked many an idiom: "How can an error be grammatical?" This slyboots elicited a lengthy defense of the phrase from Bache 1869, which was reprinted in Ayres 1881. It must have been a later wit who drew a similar defense from Follett 1966. It should be pointed out, however, that the phrase is used as a generalized term of abuse in usage commentary. Phythian 1979, for instance, calls the use of uninterested that he disapproves a grammatical error, even though no grammar is involved in the problem. |
