Jared Loughner Was Obsessed With Grammar | Talking Points Memo

Jared Loughner, who allegedly shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in the head and killed six others in Arizona on Saturday, is obsessed with grammar. Why? Welcome to the weird world of “:David-Wynn: Miller” and the “Mathematical Interface for Language.”Loughner, who, it seems safe to say at this point, is a deeply disturbed individual, appears to have no real coherent political ideology. But there are several focal points for his conspiratorial obsessions; U.S. currency was one. The other–the one demonstrated in the video above, which Loughner apparently made–is English grammar. Yes: The guy was, maybe literally, a grammar nazi.
