Install devices in the keyboards that give electic shocks any time someone uses a double negative?\n\nSeriously, if you're looking for grammar web sites, here's one that gives you daily practice by email:\n\nhttp://www.dailygrammar.com/\n\nOtherwise, just Google grammar, and you'll get hundreds of sites.

Well.. I'd say that it's just a part of evolving language..\n\nWhile chattimg and similar stuff, what ppl want is a quick exchange of ideas and opinions and being grammatically correct is not taht important than conveying the snese..\n\nWho knows with the ionternet becoming more commonplace than ever these days, tommorrow these words may be accepted by the Oxford ictionary as well.. Already there is a large num of abbreviations for which we know the meaning, but we may not be knowing the expanded form.. ( EX RSVP,OK )\n\nSo keep working on these short forms..

Very nice; you must have picked up on the hidden clue.\n\nFrankly, it all depends.  I personally am not very found of grammatical rules, as they seem to be inherently limiting.  As far as I am concerned, you can throw the majority of those rules out the window, as long as you can express yourself clearly and be easily understood.   Case in point: Linguists and English professors do NOT usually make great writers, do they?   In principle, of course, one can always make a strong formal English punctuation argument in favor of your choice "b".  But to me "a" looks much "prettier".   So the question is: Should we keep shoving food into our mouths, mindlessly chewing, and promptly swallowing till our stomachs are full, or should we try to eat less, but eat with our eyes and palates too?   I suppose, it all depends on the circumstances and your point of view.   For instance, if you end up in a hospital with a sever case of malnutrition and dehydration, they “ain’t” “gonna” care much about how you are gonna eat or drink, as long as they end up pumping enough liquids and nutrients into you to save your life.   ... The punctuation waters start getting even murkier as more and more people begin to impose their own rules and restrictions on-line.   Ironically-enough (notice I said Ironically-enough and NOT anomalously-enough LOL) take your own example in this here on-line Y!A milieu, for instance.    The Y!A software will automatically add a question mark (i.e. a "?") to the end of every statement posted, no matter what you do, and be it really a question or NOT!  (And still, they dare to complain that some of those questions aren’t exactly questions)!  LOL    Hence, in a Y!A environment at least, both your choices would be forced into a punctually incorrect stratosphere (for "a" would become "lovelorn"??, and "b" would be transformed into "lovelorn?"?) and the only correct choice would appear to be “the initially incorrect one”, namely just “lovelorn”.  … Now, go figure!   LOL     … Yes my friend, even the oracle should strive for anomalism, at times.  :-)

I had taken algebra. Past tense.\nI ran versions of both sentence structures thru Microsoft Words grammar checker, and it didn't flag either one.

univerbation, the typical grammaticalization path by which the words of a syntactic construction fuse into a single word \n\n\nhope that helps

something is wrong with the sentence structure.

The 2nd sentence is correct and very formal; there is something like an old subjunctive form hidden in it.\nThe 1st sentence is (informally) not incorrect and could be found in British English.

Since we're in the computer section, when we say BASIC grammar, i think we are talking about the language syntax for the programming language, "basic".  I think there is just a little communication.\n\nHowever there is a check spelling button we should all become a little more familiar with.

The complex linguistic nature of language, especially english, being the most difficult language in the world to learn as a second language, makes it very difficult to create a program that determines whether a sentence makes sense, and given that a sentence can make sense to one person and not another makes it difficult to even define parameters within which the program would operate. I have made several mistakes in this answer alone, both grammatical and linguitically, but that is how I communicate, and the way that makes the most sense to me, despite the mistakes. Perhaps my individuality and uniqueness is expressed through my mistakes, and therefore to eliminate those mistakes would change my language tone and emphasis to becomeing more mainstream, all for the sake of being colloquially correct. I prefer to hang on to my unique mannerisms, precisely because they are warped and twisted. Thats me, expressing myself through the power of word and phrase, tone and emphasis.

Dont worry , I know the book that has done it for you.\nthat is :"Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools. Alfred V.                    Aho, Ravi Sethi, Jeffrey D.Ullman"\nif you could not reach that book search its slides on the web or refer to Jeffry D.Ullman web site to get lecture notes at: http://infolab.stanford.edu/~ullman/\nit has a complet source code for a lexical analyzer for a sample grammar.\nat first step you must write a garmmar that has no left recortion\nand for any nonterminal write a function that calls other nonterminals or matches terminals.

You probably won't find something like this.  You just have to know the rules of grammar.

I suggest you espouse the paradigm of good spelling. In fact, you could use that paradigm for your dissertation. If indeed it is a diddertation, I am afraid I can't help you.
