In this study we have a look on Ghalat Nanevisim[1]; written by Abolhasan Najafi. By reviewing the previous critiques, it is recognized that most of the critiques are based on two contradictory thought movements; first a linguistic glance which shows language as a live and dynamic system and denies the prescriptivism; the second glance emphasizes the literal and social applications of language, and according to cultural backgrounds, it accepts only those changes which are in the framework of grammatical rules and language background. By reviewing the book disregarding the previous critiques, after so many prints, again we can see some problems which are unsolved. Some of them are typographical problems, the phonetic transcription method of inventories, system of referencing, inventories containing same rules etc. throughout the book. Some others are related to those special inventories which are presented in the alphabetical order. After all of these critiques and its problems, again it is an applied book which has so many problems in the modern Persian. And, it can prevent the arrival of some unnecessary loan words and grammatical structures of foreign languages
