The very interesting article on agrammatism in the December 2005 included an unfortunate error in the following sentence: "Unlike English and Dutch, Spanish is an example of a highly inflected, Indo-European language." (p. 9). The second comma in the sentence incorrectly implies that English and Dutch are not Indo-European languages. If the writers are encouraging us to think about grammar, they should surely get their own language classifications right-or perhaps their own grammar.
