Let's not forget that grammar functions to demonstrate what class one
belongs to.  That may even be its primary function.  I know we can all drag
up hundreds of examples of misplaced modifiers, but I come from a rural
area where the farmers are not very aware of grammar.  I think, however, they
understand each other as well as English professors (some of who may and
some who may not be hip to one's situatedness).
