   In that Grammar is related to Glamor, is due to Scott, and his use of a   
   scottish way of refering to the book learned, in other words, those who   
   could read.  Now we know for a fact that witchcraft, fairy faith, and other   
   folklore was practised by the scotts, and so this is basically a distinction   
   between what the plain people did and what you might call Wizzards did.   
   So if you're going into the historical aspects, please keep your shit   
   straight.
