You ever imagine the ability to chat with people all over the world?
You ever consider that some people on this list don't speak or
chat in english natively?

I don't that there is an official grammar for Euphoria. A number of
people have tried to write one for their own purposes.
What format would you need the grammar in? BNF, EBNF, Antlr, ...
By the way, for people not knowing what we are talking about, a 'grammar'
is a formal description of a computer language written down in such a form
that a program could read it to produce another program to read source
code in that language. There - that made it as clear as mud

AFAIK, there is no official one. On my page,
http://palacebuilders.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/euphoria.html
At the bottom there is EUBNF, which as you can see from the date I
have not modified for over a year, and is labeled [defunct].
See the top 120 or so lines of eubnf.exw, I recommend/you probably
want to ignore the rest. Let me know if you find any errors in it.
HTH,
Pete

I am fairly sure (s)he meant "what are the words of the language and how are
they used to do a task", or in other words, the same thing i would see before
i bothered to download a new language. As (s)he wrote from Sweden, i gave
a break on the use of english grammar and gave the urls to help files, but
only because some of them do have small examples.

Hm. That's strange. Of course the Euphoria interpreter/compiler must rely on
a grammar. Maybe the developers for some reason want to keep it private.

Any format will be fine.

August,
When you used the word "grammar", he (& at least some others, me included),
thought you meant "how people writing to this list spell, punctuate, and
organize the words in their posts GRAMMATICALLY", that is, *properly*,
within the rules of using the ENGLISH language. He was pointing out that
some here are not native English speakers, so their (English) grammar may
not be perfect. And he was saying that because he thought you were
*complaining* that some people do NOT use perfect grammar in their posts, I
think.
He probably parsed "Where is the Euphoria grammar?" to:
"Where is the correct use of English grammar in the posts on this list?",
& then to:
"Why don't people on this list use proper (English) grammar?"
Which is apparently NOT what you meant at all, though some understood what
you did mean.
