I think this is counter the true nature of natural language. In English at least, the word is in the root and it is not really being bounded by the grammar usage. Noun or verbs, adverbs are a description of the usage, just like dictionary definition, is an aftermath organization, but should not be a prescription. I guess I am arguing on a linguistic aspect, but I think natural language is not built on a grammar, rather they are built on meanings (with patterns automatically emerge).
