AimIsADickSo why does the german language, for instance, have a grammar if grammars in general were oh so "unnecessary"?
English has a grammar, too. Why German?
To continue in good faith: grammar is not "unnecessary" at all, but subconscious grammatical analysis not the way that we parse speech. Consider as an obvious and simple example that grammatically incorrect phrased are often perfectly intelligible and even become ingrained in our speech (e.g., "me too" in response to "I like riding my bike" is not considered strange and sexually perverse). If you are learning a language that people actually speak, you will notice while listening to a speaker that you can begin to understand them without a full grasp of the syntactical content of their speech. Rather, you pick up on phrases, commonly associated words, and patterns of speech that are the more fundamental basis of verbal communication. Grammar was derived inductively from these patterns, not the other way around, and your notion of grammar as a rigid prescription reflects your bias toward imperialist and nationalist languages and cultures where it has indeed taken on that role. You, as an autistic person, seem to not really like that the "rules" of vernacular speech being mostly guidelines (not unique to English, either) does not interfere with intelligibility, which appears to be the basis for your understanding of what a "beneficial" language entails. Your attraction to a language that was "cooked up in the lab" over any natural language which has been the expression and determinant of a people's collective consciousness for millennia kind of reveals the point brody is trying to make, or maybe you just had a really bad Spanish teacher
