Only in pun logic. “Put off” is an expression meaning to delay. “Off-putting” is an expression meaning unlikable. “Are there truly any actual, always applicant rules in language?” – Not many. “Is language in actuality nothing but a haphazard assembly of convention, exceptions and special cases, and any and all perceived “rules” nothing but the result of linguistic pareidolia?” – Not :“actually”, but perhaps more than it is a set of fixed and reliable rules. “Are we not lying to children, when we teach them these rules, that do not exist anywhere but in our collective delusions, berating and belittling them, not only when they break these rules, but also when they follow the rules in cases where an “exception” applies?” – We? Teachers vary. Conventional teachers do often exaggerate, and enforce overly unforgiving and inaccurate rules in their efforts to teach some things. I’ve seen children in American public schools recently who are not even trying to learn the underlying concepts. Instead they try to learn the patterns of questions and answers they need to repeat to get passing grades. “Would it not be better to just teach them all Plankalkül?” – It would not.
