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

An Anarchhist Need Not Be a Terrorist
My newspaper article today linked “anarchism” with terrorism and violence. Please know that the Grammar Anarchist is a gentle soul who loves words and honors the language of the U.S. My anarchism is directed at those stuffy grammarians who pretend to have “rules” that must be followed. Ah, but there are so many sets of “rules”. My mission is to encourage writers to look at them, then decide for yourself which to follow. The Grammar Anarchist proclaims: Down with “rules”; Hooray for guidelines!

Aren't you terrorizing us with your failure to recognize rules of English? I follow the rules I was taught in school and so far I haven't had a problem.
Depends on which "rules" you learned. I wonder how spirited your writing has become.
