Extended Regular Grammars
An extended right regular grammar is one in which all rules obey one of
- B → a - where B is a non-terminal in N and a is a terminal in Σ
- A → wB - where A and B are in N and w is in Σ*
- A → ε - where A is in N and ε is the empty string.
Some authors call this type of grammar a right regular grammar (or right linear grammar) and the type above a strictly right regular grammar (or strictly right linear grammar).
An extended left regular grammar is one in which all rules obey one of
- A → a - where A is a non-terminal in N and a is a terminal in Σ
- A → Bw - where A and B are in N and w is in Σ*
- A → ε - where A is in N and ε is the empty string.
Some authors call this type of grammar a left regular grammar and the type above a strictly left regular grammar.

“A sure proportion of rogue and dunce finds its way into every school and requires a cruel share of time, and the gentle teacher, who wished to be a Providence to youth, is grown a martinet, sore with suspicions; knows as much vice as the judge of a police court, and his love of learning is lost in the routine of grammars and books of elements.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
