In regards to (a) above, certainly. Why else would publishers spent
quite abit of resources making sure that books are as grammatically
correct as possible?
Could it be that actually /following/ agreed on protocols of
communication makes communication /easier/?
Personally I'd rather have one well-written book in grammatically
correct English than a thousand and one I couldn't make heads or tail
of.
But that's just me.
