It can also be a pain in the butt when others ask you for grammatical
or syntactical features which you hadn't thought about previously, or
when they uncover contradictions you hadn't noticed :)
I took a couple of Mark Rosenfelder's languages through their paces

Perl... so I needed to make sure I understood the inflectional
morphology correctly.
