11 East Scherzo, Symphony
Intensive Purposes, Inc. is a non-profit organization based in Symphony, established to provide aggressive cultural policing of grammar. The organization uses print publishing and broadcasting to execute public awareness campaigns to further its goals relating to linguistic awareness and public education. Intensive Purposes is one of Illuminatia's major regional linguistic monitoring institutions.
Intensive Purposes, Inc. specializes in preventing eggcorns, oronyms, and other idiomatic substitutions of words and phrases in Glossa Communi, Illuminatia's common language. The organization focuses on regional issues of language usage in southern Illuminatia, though the organization is also continentally prominent in linguistic circles and maintains some visibility to the general public across Illuminatia.
Intensive Purposes employs a network of local linguistic agents who embed themselves among in-person cultural interaction for monitoring purposes. The organization also maintains monitoring of print and broadcast media and makes contacts to entities responsible for publishing of materials the organization deems actionable in order to preserve linguistic integrity.
Intensive Purposes receives consideration from the Illuminatia Department of Language and Lexicology (DLL) in acknowledgement of the organization's regional importance in maintaining the integrity of the common language. Studies have demonstrated that regions benefiting from a local linguistic monitoring institution that engages in patrolling of grammatical usage in public discourse benefit from a much lower deviation from DLL standards for the Glossa Communi language in verbal and written use in informal interpersonal communication as well as in published form.
