The question that we're going to leave the only instance of the tag is this onethis one. I humbly request contributing answers supported by citable sources to the question.

A proposed solution would be to heed this nice guythis nice guy when he said @inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M Somebody write a self-answered question on "What do we mean by 'grammar'?" put the grammar tag on that. As a result, I created the post What is meant by "grammar"?What is meant by "grammar"? and now we're eagerly waiting for your answers on it!

This is the follow-up of http://meta.ell.stackexchange.com/questions/2699/is-this-tag-useful-episode-1-the-big-boss-grammarIs This Tag Useful? Episode 1 - The Big Boss (grammar). (i.e. intended to be the community decision on the matter, if people agree with the sentiments of this meta post)

#TL;DR I believe the opposite sidethe opposite side has a point, while reaching the wrong conclusion. So I take all of the sides into account. We're going to

  1. Edit every post with and replace the tag with something actually useful.
  2. Leave the tag on only one question, so it works as a temporary taga temporary tag. We should — and hopefully will — edit every new question with a (mis)tag.

It was not terribly clear what tags were meant to be on ELLIt was not terribly clear what tags were meant to be on ELL. Bad tags popped up that wouldn't have so in other SEs. I can count a few possible reasons:

So, over the time, people left alone because why does it hurt to have that tag?why does it hurt to have that tag? However, as explained in my former meta post, it horribly fails the criteria of a good SE tag.

IMO, it will most probably fail. The advantage of clarifying would be that askers on ELL won't be hard-pressed to find a tag for their question. The disadvantage, however, would be that we'd still have a "default" tag for many of the askers. The way is currently being used is precisely the way a hypothetical would've been (the advice in this answerthis answer is imprecise and incorrect and unfortunately definitely not researched).
