Why is there no Dept of Grammar in the US presidential cabinet?


When you become president of the United States, you WILL appoint me as the first ever Secretary of Grammar, won't you?

(Of course, I won't accept the position if it doesn't carry a death penalty clause for violators. Oh, and I'll need you to grant me my own body of law enforcement officers with broad powers, little oversight, unlimited arrest authority, a secret multi-billion dollar budget, sweeping immunity, you know, all the usual necessities that keep a mini-regime functioning.)

    It's much too intellectual for them...

    Please - they want to get rid of the Department of Education, so for what would they need a Department of Grammar?

    Grammar promotes clarity in communication.  Apparently Trump prefers "unpredictability" in all areas.

    Trump's administration is not the first, last or only.

    When I take over and become dictator get elected President of the United States in a fair and democratic election I'll create the Department of Grammar and make you Secretary of Grammar if you promise to imprison unfriendly journalists and jail members of the opposition party  faithfully execute your responsibilities and duties under the law!


    I'll have to pay you with apostrophes.

    Do we have a deal?

    I'm not sure if I can trust you; there should be a comma after the word "election".

    :(

    I had one there but I needed an extra apostrophe to pay the mob boss  one of my business associates.  I gave him the comma and told him it was an apostrophe.  He didn't notice.

    Oh, I see that it's going to be one of "those" administrations. Just line my pockets with cash and I'll turn a blind eye to any shenanigans pay me an honest day's wage for an honest day's work, and I'll make sure my department runs smoothly. (WINK.)

  • Because that would just lead to the stagnation of our language.
