Second Use of Breathing. –Nor is the stupendousness all. Nature dislikes a waste of energy. In addition to and by a wise adaptation and economy, the process of respiration is made to sub serve a second use no less important than that of purifying the blood — the power of speech. The exhaled air, laden though it may be with the human detritus and off-scourings of the body, and passing through the vocal organs can be transformed into pairs of faith, songs of hope and words of good cheer, kindly encouragement and expressions of love!

That section definitely fits into our bizarre grammar category. As I transcribed those words from the text using Dragon NaturallySpeaking, the program really had to do some backflips. It definitely stumbled a few times on that one. there so many bizarre points of view and usages of grammar in that paragraph but I’m not sure where to begin.

I guess all start at the end. They jump into a weird peculiar and strange way of talking about the good things that people can say because they breathe air out of their lungs. Don’t blame mer if I say a curse word, blame the air I’m breathing out?

The author didn’t try to state that exactly, but they definitely used a bunch of mumbo-jumbo and so their real meaning or intention behind their words is probably lost to the ages.
