Go along with my ideas, even if you think they are wrong/silly.

***** NOT A TEACHER *****
The Parser: Would you please explain transformational grammar to me?
University Professor: My dear Parser. You seem like a nice enough chap. But I do believe that transformational grammar is a bit
over your head. I suggest that you stick to your high school level of grammar.
The Parser: Just humor me, OK? = I know that you think that I am too stupid to understand transformational grammar, and you may
be correct. Nevertheless, please make me happy by answering my question. OK?
