>The putatively literate use of the English language had already fallen way below the quality of literate English during Shakespeare’s and Milton’s time during the 1950s, before the destructive impacts of the Chomskyan linguistics and the argot of the rock-drug counterculture. The principal among defects to be noted include the disuse of the subjunctive, and philosophical nominalism in manner of emphasis upon the noun as the natural unit of ideas. The first is the outgrowth of a steady campaign to eradicate the use of the subjunctive, by academics who recognized quite accurately the practical philosophical significance of the subjunctive as the medium for thinking in terms of scientific hypothesis. The emphasis upon the noun was also the fruit of campaigns on behalf of philosophical empiricism.
