Fallacies Concerning the Nature of Grammar

The sentences a person produces directly reflect his or her grammatical knowledge, the distinction
between competence and performance

In my own understanding

1. You can’t speak or produce grammatical knowledge, if you’re not aware of what you’re
saying. The way how you perform will be the reflection of your knowledge. The way how
you act will always reflect to you intellect.

About changes in grammar is that they result in deterioration, or, alternatively evolution.  It would
be difficult to define what is meant by grammatical “evolution or deterioration”.  There is no doubt
that languages change over time, sometimes in quite radical ways, but the changes do not seem to
entail an advancement or a loss of any kind; the status quo is maintained.

In my own understanding

2. Our language is changing overtime. The way how we use it or spelled are differ sometimes
the way how it is, but it doesn’t mean that language is fading. Language itself can’t be fade.
