| Noam, not Naom Chomsky. Biased? Quite right, that's why I voted for Deborah. |

| Virve, Thank you for spotting the typo; I have corrected it. And, yes, the poll is unbelievably biased. :) |

| I'm sort of amazed that Noah Webster is in third place, after all the shenanigans he pulled with the English language. |

| He is a famous linguist in the field of linguistics esp in TG grammar. I am interestes in his universal grammar. |

| Chomsky is the god father of the transformational grammar he aimed to make grammar seems so flexible and he was followed by many other linguists. |

| Noam Chomsky? The greatest left-wing pig out there...Classic choice. |

| I'm so happy that Halliday didn't even get a look in. What a charlatan. As for left-wing pigs, I'll take one of them over a right-wing pig any day. |
