Motto: "The existence of linguistic variation is the case in point explaining our necessity."
Case And Point, Inc. is a linguistic preservation and policing organization based in Voyage a Deux which performs work to preserve the minority Western Lucidian language. This non-profit organization engages in publishing, public outreach, education, and observation to assess the usage of Western Lucidian, provide monitoring and patrolling of grammatical usage, and preserve the utility of the sub-language as a cultural tool. Case And Point is the primary linguistic organization working with the Western Lucidian sub-language.
Case And Point, Inc. plays a central role in the Western Lucidian sub-language as an indigenous institution. It also works as one of four central linguistic organizations in Illumination working together to preserve the four Protolucidian languages, of which Western Lucidian is one.
In naming itself, Case And Point, Inc. played homage to Illuminatia's network of regional grammar policing organizations, which work to preserve Glossa Communi, Illuminatia's mainstream common language. These regional organizations engage in a greater level of linguistic prescription than Case And Point, as a part of their efforts to prevent oronyms and idiomatic substitutions. Meanwhile, Case And Point, Inc. and its three sister organizations instead take a more descriptive approach, subscribing to the philosophy that such technique will result in sufficient linguistic unity within a minority language that itself has been defined by its ability to drift and contribute to cultural diversity by way of its flexibility in using language to communicate.
The organization delicately balances its role in preservation and prevention of unnecessary degeneration of the Western Lucidian sub-language's ability to effectively communicate among a minority populace, while also celebrating the cultural implications of an evolving language within the context of sister minority languages which also evolve in their own way.
Case And Point, Inc. receives consideration from the Illuminatia Department of Language and Lexicology (DLL) in support of the organization's work relating to the cultural significance of the Protolucidian languages. The DLL also welcomes the ancillary benefit that the designated elasticity of the Western Lucidian language provides in relation to the stability of the common language, Glossa Communi. The DLL understands that Western Lucidian plays a cathartic role in the greater linguistic ecosystem in Illuminatia, affording a platform for acute linguistic antics to take place in regions where Western Lucidian is spoken, without contaminating Illuminatia's common language.
