Words do more than people realize.... in linguistcs/information theory, that's deletion... seeing new patterns when an elements removed. There's a reason why a lot of original thinkers are dyslexic....

The grammarians fundamentally think about linguistic variation differently. In modern, Western linguistcs, we think of dialects as "containing" variants.
