Sorry, Dave, but -- in my admittedly arrogant opinion -- "misunderstanding" at Mudcat typically arises from disingenuousness, ignorance, ideology and/or bloody-mindedness, not grammatical error.
Variations in rhetorical style are also a rich source of argument, usually of the Yanks-vs-Brits type. Someone determined to take offence can manage it without so much as an Oxford comma.
