  • Provided an alt blurb to just "grammar"-based. --MASEM (t) 01:49, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
  • New enough, long enough, interesting article and hook. For what it's worth, I would suggest using the word "contemporary" instead of "modern-day" due to close paraphasing and it just sounds better to me. 1973–2009 is not exactly olden days. HelenOnline 10:14, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
