I'm struck by how advertisements for services like grammerly put the lie to the idea that there no economic value to the humanities. grammerly is a program that ties to replicate (poorly) the sort of prose stylistics that are precisely the sort of thing the humanities teach. 1/5

...and part of it has been a retreat from teaching language in the traditional, rigid way. I am all for the idea that use-creates-meaning, but as with most things, one must first know the rules to then know when to break the rules.
