Hello
The January issue of "The Vocabula Review" contains an article that might be
of interest to you: "Grammar and Disputation -- A Summary of Methods and
Arguments from Ten Grammatical Errors in the American Heritage Dictionary"
by Peter Corey.
>From Mr. Corey's essay: "My argument with the American Heritage Dictionary
is that, despite its concern with usage, it has little interest in grammar;
and, judging by some of the Usage Notes, perhaps little knowledge of it."
Here's the link if you want to take a look:

A society is generally as lax as its language.
