              The Swedish humorist Tage Danielsson wrote an independent
              and brilliant precursor, "Grallimatik" (1966) where he
              argues that most talking is not about communicating
              information, but simply social status games and nice
              sounds. So he outlines a grammar, semantics and style
              guide for vacuous talking. It is a hilarious satire, but
              actually making Frankfurt's point decades earlier. Nothing
              new under the sun, as Aristotle tweeted. <br>
