Well I have been conditioned to use grammar 'correctly' for the better part of my 14 years in school, so it's hard for me to flout those rules now. :tongue: That and the degree I'll hopefully complete (English) and the careers I want to eventually do (either video game writing or being a full time author) are all things that require me to have excellent grammar. It's just my own personal context that means I'm quite rigorous in my use of punctuation, grammar etc.
I'm just arguing that we shouldn't worry so much about the misuse of grammar so much amongst the general populous. It's something that people have always been insecure about (something that quite frankly is ridiculous), so why should we perpetuate that? |
