The use of the asset of language is as general and as "automatic" as breathing. And just as we do not think about how precious the complex physiology of Breathing is, we also do not concern ourselves with how fundamental Language is to our existence.
However, thanks to our tireless Linguists, there is such a wealth of deep knowledge about it that we can also enjoy a part of that knowledge. We, the simple Users of language, have an additional practical interest: on one hand, we are cultivators of language (in everyday, scientific, and artistic discourse), and on the other hand, we often have specific expressive needs that we wish to describe.
Therefore, I thought to share with you my own linguistic perceptions, as I have been taught by the experts, but also as I have gained from years of experience. Consequently, this book has primarily practical purposes – but it also expresses my pain: for example, I can no longer stand being made to write "κατά νουν," while I correctly read "κατα νούν"...

"Meaning is indicated only by the proposition; the word indicates [only] significance – and not meaning." G. Babiniotis
"[Proposed by Petrounias (2002) and Setatos (2006)] radical change of the monotonic towards the direction 'tonic point is written everywhere and always where and only when there is a lexical accent.'" G. Papadopoulos
"The 'shrinking' of language to its material, biological basis [...], equates to a 'false concrete' [...] that 'degrades' both nature and history." A.-F. Christidis
"Grammar [...] will meet the expectations and demands of the state, the educational world, authors, literati, and enlightened society." M. Triantafyllidis
