"For instance, a "gram" (Latin root "gramma") is a LEGAL measure of weight. It always has been. Long before the metric system, a gram was a measure of weight. It changed over the years and only the NOBILITY standardized it. Its history nothwithstanding, it is a LEGAL measure of weight - "Mar", Latin "to harm" - the WEIGHT OF WORDS made with the intention to HARM. Every lawyer will tell you that good GRAMMAR is important!"
gram-Mar...i'll never be able to look at this word the same way again. Thanks for this.
