As it happens, this rule of grammar was instituted under the
totalitarian reign of Ancient Roman emperor Vocabularius, who would
invite people from as far as Cathay to his humble estate, known
simply as the "Vocabulum," at which point he would hold word-based
gladiator fights. The loser would be tied up in a burlap sack along
with a snake, a rat, and an angry cat, and then thrown off of a cliff
to the river below.
Vocabularius, though, would ensure the person had a proper burial.
