But grammatically speaking, the use of "grammar.++", as Travis used it, is 
not "grammar++". Travis used the "++" as a sentence modifier, not as a 
suffix to "grammar". Besides, grammar isn't the words of the language, but 
the way they are used,,, in a way,,, i think,,, sorta... Jiri?

grammar:
Studies of the formation of basic linguistic units

word:
A unit of language that native speakers can identify
