Anti What?
I’ve occasionally read of an “anti-sex harassment force”. But is that a force that’s against sex harassment, or is it a harassment force that’s against sex? There’s a similar grammatical question about an “anti-voter fraud group”. Is it a group that’s against voter fraud, or is it a fraud group that’s against voters?
I call this “anti-grammatical error speech”; for is it speech that’s against grammatical errors, or is it error speech that’s against grammar?
