It wasn't that I don't know who he is (although I couldn't name anything what he's wrote), it was the "joke" in its entirety I didn't get.

No the joke doesn't actually work. Chomsky isn't a prescriptivist grammar pedant, like Lynne Truss.

All this stuff reminds me of a joke the Philosophy students used to tell at university........ over and over again...................

A Philosophy Professor and a Philosophy student were walking down the street.

Suddenly the student said: "Look Professor - there's a ten pound note lying on the ground!"

"There can't be" replied the Professor, "if there was a ten pound note lying on the ground, someone would have already picked it up.........."



[Laugh?? I thought I'd never start.......... ]
