I really really need to devise some more potent abusive epithets about prescriptive grammar. I need buckets of mockery, and lashings of contempt. I need to pour scorn and impute ignorance and deride lack of education. And not drop to their level, let's not forget that.

I like the sound of 'Muggle grammar', but does it convey enough of its hopeless inadequacy?

some of us have too little association with harry potter to get the full force i'm sure you intend with that. but i think it's certainly a step in the right direction.

You'd be thwarting the attempts of the Harry Potter cast to avoid any implication of anti-Muggle prejudice, though.

I certainly share your sentiment. Dumb-wit grammar? Goosestep grammar? Not better, I fear.
