towards a modest critique of noam chomsky's attempts at mathematical delineations of language

Chomsky finds in his ascribed patterns of grammer the mathematical determinants he himself has already hidden there.
The word orders to which he assigns inherency are the work of sentiment and in every case vary.
There is no agreed absolute definitional grammer for any language which an investigator might treat as a mathematically quantifiable benchmark.
Nor vocabulary.
Nor spelling.
Nor pronunciation.
All usages and forms within any language may alter beyond any preconceivable mathematical boundaries.
Americans will often say "a couple words," whereas the Irish usually say "a couple of words."
The Spanish lisp their C's and Z's because King Philip the Fifth lisped and his courtiers immitated him out of politeness.
They were probably better off lisping the phrase "el armada invincibile," because whatever invincible meant in Spanish, it didn't mean what the Spanish thought it meant.
South American Spanish speakers still pronounce their C's and Z's properly.
The difference between badly spoken French argot and the most revered and rarified Academie Francaise French is merely a difference in the perceived prestige of the speakers.
Neither form is inherently meritorious or truly unalterably grammatical.
The English seem to have gone collectively nuts and are pronouncing "6th" as sikth, while sane people in the rest of the world still say it lispily as the lovely mellifluous sibilant siksth.
Nothing mathematical has ordered the flavour and consistencies of my own linguistic choices even in regards to the way I choose to spell grammer.
Language is my soul singing.
Every language on earth bears traces of every other language, indicating the existence at some primordial point of a single world language.
Language is first and foremost sentimental, spiritual, magisterial, and not mathematical.
Maths is merely a very limited occasionally efficient way of looking at it.
Grammer may be looked at mathematically but not defined mathematically.
Word order like every other aspect of language is decided in any general sense by acclaim and may change.
Chomsky Noam a galoot Marxian is.
Mathematics is a metaphor contrived by the human mind.
Mathematics is a mental perspective on reality.
It is the foundation of nothing.
It created nothing.
It has no manifestation outside a human mind.
As a meditative tool it offers a methodology for limited descriptions not an account of origins or anything beyond notional parametres.
The concept of 1 + 1 = 2, cannot exist unless someone formulates and considers it.
Without a man who has become speculatively literate and numerate through the reading of the Bible and the inherited practice of religion, mathematics does not exist.
Nor do cities.
Nor do societies.
Nor do cultures.
