What the hell is a Grammar Anarchist?
You can be one! Since we don’t have a U.S. language, feel FREE to set your own rules -- interpret grammar YOUR WAY. You’re not in England anymore. Join the anarchy of U.S. grammar! Make your choices and preserve them in YOUR STYLE MANUAL. —The Grammar Anarchist
Start with eliminating words such as wanna, gonna, gotta, kinda, and sorta. Not saying it isn't fun to use them in emails and informal notes, but please, at least know the real words.And check for typos before sending stuff out!
Today's media doesn't help with this. I have so many students who write "nite" and "lite". Don't get me started on texting. Proper grammar and spelling has gone to hell.

This Anarchist says "write any way you want when nobody's looking, but take care when you want to look smart!"
