It is a basic tenet of modern descriptive linguistics that real
languages are far more complex and internally consistent than any
grammars we could artificially construct. So, too, the real world is
far more complex and self-regulating than any world we could
devise. — Peggy Mohan, "Is English the language of India’s future?"
