Plense tell me if it is in correct to use the expression “gram matical error"? My teacher says if it is grammatical it cannot be an error.—A ns. The propriety of the phrase “grnmmatienl error” is no longer questioned by most reputable authorities. A few authorities, how ever. still maintain that it is n vio lation* of precision to speak of n “grnmmatienl error.” But even if the phrase was once incorrect, its place has been established in the language by being widely used by careful speakers and writers. Good usnge is the final arbiter of pro priety in language. It appears that objection to the phrase “grammati cal error" is based on the mistaken notion that the adjective “gram matical” has 'only, one meaning, namely, “based on or in accordance with the principles of grammar.” If “grammatical” were limited to this one sense it would be incorrect to say “grammatical error.” . Blit “grammatiral” also means “pertain iug to grammar." It Is in this sense in which it is used in “grammatiral error.” f , The Victoria Tower, Westminster.
