Dear Ed et al

OK - just read it for information.  It seems like people on the list toss
around terms like 'performance grammar' and the rest of us mortals don't
necessarily understand what is meant.  I feel that this book is a nice
introduction.  I am not offended or intimidated.  I also thinks teachers need
a basic grounding in usable and understandable grammar.

I also feel that when students finish my class, they can identify, for
example, nouns.  I don't try to introduce them to more than school of
thought. However, I think that at some schools, teachers are asked to
introduce various grammatical approaches in courses called 'Modern Grammar'
or whatever.
