As professional grammarian Benjamin Dreyer noted on Bluesky, "Amateurs don't dabble in the Leo Frank case; that takes an exceedingly well practiced professional anti-Semite."

In that sentence, some grammarians put a comma after the word sandwiches — that’s an Oxford comma — while some leave it out.

It’s considered wrong only because 200-plus years of grammarians have told us it is wrong, without solidly justifying that judgment.

Punctilious as Mr. Richards may have been, he told the New York Times that there were many grammarians more “militant” than he.

This “gospel” was worldwide news — before skeptical papyrologists and grammarians, in one case drawing on the research of an amateur Coptic obsessive working in his Macomb, Mich., basement, showed it to be a complete fake.
