The mystery that surrounds grammar is not grammar’s own in the sense that it is not generated from within grammar itself. What obscures grammar, what ails our true appreciation and understanding of it is our erroneous approach to it, which instead of permeating the core of grammar, the essence, loses itself in the web of rules and regulations, the surface reality. The present article emphasizes that it is time we moved away from such a misleading approach that presents grammar as an arid, contrived, and lifeless thing, in order to realize the beauty of grammar, how lifelike it is.
