From the website: &#8220;A lot of people make claims about what &#8220;good English&#8221; is. Much of what they say is flim-flam, and this blog aims to set the record straight. Its goal is to explain the motivations behind the real grammar of English and to debunk ill-founded claims about what is grammatical and what isn&#8217;t.&#8221;
