| Sep 1, 2015 at 12:40 | comment | added | Dan Bron | @CORINNE I was the one who edited your question. I made two changes: the big one was simply breaking up the body or your question into paragraphs, so it was easier to read and when a user initially opened it he wasn't presented with an unbroken "wall of text". I also shortened the title (using some local jargon) so it would fit into the list of questions better (i.e. make it easier for the locals here to immediately grasp what you were asking about, and therefore drive more attention to your question). FYI, if you're ever unhappy with any edits, as post-author, you can roll them back. | |

| Sep 1, 2015 at 12:31 | comment | added | CORINNE | @DanBron Hello Dan Many thanks for this.. That was an amazingly clear & detailed explanation. You went to a great deal of trouble to illustrate and get the point across. .. It was extremely comprehensive. I have now fully understood how to use tags. | |
| Aug 31, 2015 at 16:49 | comment | added | Dan Bron | I don't hang out in the gram*-tags much, but wouldn't asking whether something is grammatical necessarily entail an explanation of why it is grammatical? I mean, if not, then answers would consist of a bald "yep, it sure is!" or "no, that's totally wrong". | |
| Aug 31, 2015 at 16:31 | comment | added | Andrew Leach Mod | Good answer! It's worth noting explicitly the difference between grammar and grammaticality. The latter is asking about whether something in particular is right; on the other hand grammar is more abstract and is asking about why a particular way of expressing something is right (that is, it's asking about the grammar itself, not the results of applying the grammar). The [grammar] tag appears in the top 10 because this difference is not completely understood. It should be way down the list! | |
