Because real lexicons are big and complex, from a software engineering perspective it is best to write simplegrammars that have a simple, well-defined way, of pulling out the information they need from vast lexicons. That is,grammars should be thought of as separate entities which can access the information contained in lexicons. We can then use specialised mechanisms for efficiently storing the lexicon and retrieving data from it.
We must learn a newgrammar of power in a world that is made up more of the common good – or the common bad – than of self-interest or national interest.

He’s the old man’s only son. Some baby! Yep, right behind ya. Nope, he donno me. I was inGrammar when he was in High.

1991 April 4, Bill Gosper, “LIFELINE:in search of the newsletter”, incomp.theory.cell-automata[2] (Usenet):
Hickerson has a computer program which found a spaceship with speed c/3. In fact a wholegrammar of them.
1992 August 27, David Bell, “Spaceships in Conway's Life (Part 2a)”, incomp.theory.cell-automata[3] (Usenet):
Within a few hours of finding the first period 2 ship, Dean had discovered agrammar for constructing an infinite number of different short, wide, period 2 spaceships. Agrammar is an "alphabet" of "components", along with rules for the possible sequences of connections between components. Components are simply the identifiable pieces of a ship which reappear over and over in different ships in different combinations.
1994 January 21, Harold McIntosh, “de Bruijn diagrams”, incomp.theory.cell-automata[4] (Usenet):
Dean's discovery included a much more plentiful family than just the light, medium, and heavy weight spaceships that have been known since the beginning, which he was able to organize into a series of tiles and agrammar for them.
Colloquially,grammar (sense 1) is often used to refer specifically to the internal structure of words (morphology) and the structure of phrases and sentences (syntax) of a language (which are subsumed in linguistics under the labelmorphosyntax), without reference to other aspects of grammar, such as the sounds of the language.
