Rejoice in Independence

That's what anarchy is all about: making your own rules. Didn't we in the U.S. do that in the 1700s? Writers still are free to choose their own rules. The anarchists of the 1700s made sure we have that freedom. Hail Anarchy!

About the Grammar Anarchist

The Grammar Anarchist is a published author of books on language, an editor working with other writers, and a writing instructor (not a teacher, who can "teach" writing?) She toils from a dust-free computerized location in the Northwest (free of urban intervention).

The Grammar Anarchist has put up with the bad language habits that are running rampant in the U.S. and has pledged to do away with (destroy, eliminate, terminate, undo, get rid of) those who insist on trying to force "rules" on unsuspecting writers.

A friendly Anarchist, she is willing to help the ungrammarized to clean up their acts, exercise their control over language, and live unfettered lives of happy communication.

No words have been (or will be) harmed in the execution of this exercise.
