Miss Lenhart is shown teaching a classroom about grammar. Grammar is a system and set of rules to describe how a certain language is structured. This is useful to make communication standardized and clear with little to no difficulty for parsing. In this comic, Miss Lenhart claims that grammar is "one of the most popular ways to structure a language". She also presents two alternative methods that competed to substitute grammar, yet evidently never took off to be implemented in common speech, and also appear to be nonsensical in nature. Despite this, they've gained their own endonyms:
- Words order words random words words random good
- This form of alternative grammar arbitrarily consists of words that vaguely help understanding the overall sentence.
- EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
- This is the strangest of the two.
The title text seems to continue Lenhart's lecture, as she moves to communication. Similar to the subject of grammar, she beings to pose some rival methods thereof, but seems to cut off before naming the first one. This may reference nonverbal communication, which is a mode of communication without oral manner, such as eye contact, body language, and gesturing. Applying here, either Miss Lenhart has transferred into another mode of communication, that may be impossible to render textually, or lack thereof. The latter would not be of good taste without further explanation, as abruptly ceasing any more information may instill confusion to her pupils.

Miss Lenhart: Grammar is one of the most popular ways to structure a language, ahead of rival methods such as words order words random words words random good and EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I created a transcript, but used OCR for all the E's because I kept losing count of how many there were. If someone wants to factcheck that, please do. 104.28.215.220 22:45, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
It looks like the bot picked up the April Fool's "feature" as interactive, should we keep it or remove? 104.28.215.220 22:46, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
Factchecked 19 E's counted in the image and 19 E's counted in the transcript. 12.155.149.34 23:00, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
Side note: I have heard people using both alternate niche methods of language structure, kinda like those people who adopt a losing format even after it's clear it has lost. On character who has on occasion dabbled in both is Homer Simpson, BTW. --94.73.49.13

Any "competitors" to grammar would still be grammars since a grammar, by definition, describes how a language is structured. 75.248.235.98 00:00, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
- Well, the Random Words one seems to have no particular structure beyond being word-utterances, and the EEEEEEEEEEEEEE one doesn't even have much that can be structuralised (though I'm half expecting it to actually supposed to be a modem 'yowl', it needn't even be that), so I'm willing to bet that this exempts them from any consistent quality of being grammar. 81.179.199.253 00:08, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
I interpreted "words order words random words words random good" differently. I assumed it was missing commas and should be read as "words-order", "words-random" "words-words" "random-good".
Maybe(probably?) not what Randall intended, but if anyone interpreted it the same as me, you're not alone!
i reconsider this: non-verbal communication isn't another rival for communication, as it is a subset (after seeing and liking this anon's edit), but i'm not sure what other methods there could be than just communication and non-communication; Lenhart says "rivals" plural -- somefan (talk | contribs) 00:45, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
