Pinker on prescriptive grammar rules

This article deals early on with the concepts 'prescriptive' and 'descriptive' which are vital terminology for A2. The writer (who has done some brilliant work on language issues and whose TED talk is worth checking out) then goes on to debunk some grammar rules. It is hard going but worth tackling in bits and really trying to get to grips with as many of the grammar ideas as possible!
