- Keep. Not a hoax. The claim that Pinker mentions it in The Language Instinct is correct (p. 208 of the paperback edition on Amazon). You could argue notability, or suggest a merge to a more general article, but it definitely is a linguistically interesting construction that has been discussed in multiple places.
