DD: Think Shannon's work on Communication Theory. If the intended 
message gets across and is understood by the receiver, the link is 
good. No matter the message is incorrect. The grammar and the 
transmission worked. Grammar is our theme. It is essential to 
successful communication. Content of the message is another matter. 
Not our job. Perhaps a field for ethic or moral philosophers. Still 
if you could slip me some of your examples, off list, I would greatly 
appreciate it. I'll use them with my Latin students.
