When I came on this list around Dec. '92, it was common practice for
the grammarian to send private e-mail to the poster of a message with
incorrect grammar. I've not been writing to the list in tlhIngan Hol
much lately, and I'd like to think that when I do it's generally
correct {{;), so I don't really know if this is still the case. In
those cases where a public discussion of a particular construction
might be beneficial, the grammarian then makes the post.
So, if you see a post with mistakes and there's no follow-up, it might
have been taken care of behind-the-scenes.
