ungrammaticalness
Breaking language rules
The quality or state of being ungrammatical—violating the rules of grammar.
A rare and unwieldy noun; most writers prefer "ungrammaticality" or simply rephrase: The ungrammaticalness of the sentence made it hard to parse.
The word's own awkwardness makes it a somewhat ironic choice.
