But like, what’s use if grammar if you don’t also know spelling and vocabulary? Are there British kids who just go around saying “period, exclamation point, ellipses!”
It’s actually a case of the British intrusive R, they are schools for grandmas
common misconception, those are schools that were founded by educational icon Kelsey “Frasier” Grammer
Grammar is just the angloid spelling
What’s use if grammar
Innit
Wait till you hear what they teach in finishing school.
Serious answer: it’s derived from γραμματικὴ τέχνη (grammatikḕ téchnē), or “art of letters”, so originally referred to the whole of written language (and sometimes spoken parts too) rather than just the word order. Grammar schools were for learning how to read and write Latin and Greek.
