Grammar in a natural language is a description of how that language is
normally used. If an accepted grammar is not followed that means either
that the usage is somehow "improper", or that the grammar inadequately
describes the normal usage of the language. (03)
Grammatical rules can be expressed using a logical formalism, but
that does not mean that the grammar itself is a logic. (04)
