Founding Grammars

Takeaways - the more things change the more things stay the same - people have been bitching about “they” as a second-person singular pronoun since at least the 18th century. Who knew. Debate over dictionaries/grammar books being prescriptive vs. descriptive also nothing new. Title of this book somewhat deceptive as it continues into 20th-century dictionary debates, but still a bit of a fun read if the subject matter is of interest.
