− | Maybe the word "Grammar" is just supposed to sound like "Ta-Da" (as in the fanfare sound made in circuses). Which - as odd as this is going to sound - is somewhat similar to how grammar is used in formal languages.

− | Is it possible that the word crash is some sort of play on the computer term 'crash'? I know that formal linguistics is important to computer science... Just throwing that out there.

| If only there were some sort of Discussion page where comics could be discussed. There could be a convenient link at the top of the page right next to a link back to the comic page itself. Maybe it could be colored red to stand out from the rest of the page. ''-- It's a blue button next to "Prev"'' | | If only there were some sort of Discussion page where comics could be discussed.

− | Because the conference heading implies it is about formal programming languages.
| |
− | Grammar is about the correct for of language and it's formality and rules (which I break all the time).

| I'm thinking the page needs a brief description of what a "formal language" is. I linked to the wikipedia article on formal languages, but we should probably add a summary relevant to the comic here. --[[User:DanB|DanB]] ([[User talk:DanB|talk]]) 10:39, 3 August 2012 (EDT) | | I'm thinking the page needs a brief description of what a "formal language" is.

− | ;Grammar vs Language
| |
− | The pun seems clearly to be related to the difference between a formal language and a formal grammar. A language X is the set of all it's valid statements. On the other hand, a grammar for a language X is a description that can be used produce every single valid statement in the language X, even if it's a language with infinite valid statements. So him shouting "''GRAMMAR''" in a formal ''languages'' forum is most likely meant to be as if he said in a shorthand way everything there was to be said about (the) language. {{unsigned ip|108.162.212.51}}
