It looks like the answer is yes, you can do parse ranking without loading the grammar.<div><br></div><div>I was asking because I ran into a bug where the Japanese grammar mysteriously stopped loading (see the forwarded message from Francis) and I wanted to make sure my workaround of removing the grammar loading step from the load script wouldn't have any subtle bad consequences.<br>
