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.
