but its grammar seems a bit ungrammatical to me.
Sorry Tinkerbell for I'll be a little out of context. But the part I quoted from Nightmare85's post sounded a tad illogical to me. Yes, I know that if someone asks me if I would like some water, I wouldn't expect a certain mass of water carried in the air, or a handful of water. I'd expect some water in a glass. If you, Nightmare85, asked what this water analogy is all about, I'd say that this is about getting to the point faster.
Now, the point is, if it is its grammar, it cannot be ungrammatical for it is its own grammar. Something cannot be wrong in its own terms. It should be right in itself (like "Ding an sich"). So, it should have been either "it's a bit ungrammatical..." or "its
use of grammar seems a bit wrong". I'm aware that this matter is of trivious importance, but since you are from Goedel and Kant's country, I hope that you would understand my point.
I was about to pm this to you, but then I decided that it would be good to learn what others thought on this matter.
