On THE Speculative Grammarian; by THE Editor-in-Chief; From Volume CLXXIII, (173) Number 1, of Speculative Grammarian, May 2015 \u2014 We are often asked why we don\u2019t use \u201cthe\u201d in front of \u201cSpeculative Grammarian\u201d in the name of our journal. (Well, that\u2019s a bit generous. Not enough people ask. Many fail to notice, and use \u201cthe\u201d without asking. This editorial is a nicer response than having them caned\u2014though that, too, would be fair.) Speculative Grammarian a noun like any other, after all. Many inquire whether we are against determiners for some reason. (Read by Trey Jones.)
