Grammar: The art of writing words, often misrepresented via scare techniques to make you hate language. As children prove daily, you don’t need grammar to learn a language, but it can help understanding it if you care to know how language works. For people who like to read and write, grammar can be a source of joy and enlightenment if they manage to accept its confusing and daunting concepts, like “adjectives” or “adverbs”. Grammar can be seen as a game, which is particularly useful while you’re editing. Grammar is related to rhetoric.
