The Orin–Hal phone call — "c. I.e., the Militant Grammarians of…"

quote

c. I.e., the Militant Grammarians of Massachusetts, a syntactic-integrity PAC Avril had put together with two or three very dear friends and colleagues around metro Boston.

Context

The note's own sub-footnote c, glossing the letter's "M.G.M.": the organization defined in apparatus, deadpan, as "a syntactic-integrity PAC" — prescriptivism with a lobbying arm. Pairs with n.51's founding note (see the spine) and n.234's field operations.
