Chomsky being a leftist doesn't make him a bad linguist. And I do like leftists as long as they follow democratic principles; I am one of those myself. Now, you are free to blame me for that,lol.

However, as a linguist Chomsky's Transformational-Generative grammar model has been outdated for long, and later generations of linguists found much to criticize with respect to his approach.

You should know that as someone with a degree in Applied Linguistics. Was this degree awarded to you by Cosmos University or a respectable uni in Aussieland? What was then that respectable uni in Aussieland? The reason for me asking this is that when it comes to Linguistics or related topics, you seem to act like a parrot that repeats everything others have said before. I cannot decide whether your degree in Linguistics is genuine or just a fake. But I can easily spot pretenders by asking them some questions on topics that I know quite well - as a linguist and otherwise.

You see, fake degree holders hardly have a chance when being challenged in their pretend subject area. This is your chance now to prove me wrong, haha.
