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

Spelling Better -- Guideline #3
Your vocabulary increases by leaps and bounds when you take notice of root words, prefixes, and suffixes. Spell the root word correctly and similar words fall into place. Play anagram games, such as "Wheel of Fortune" and "Scrabble". Do crosswords.
U.S. spelling is devoid of "rules". Anarchy asks you to question -- things such as the reason words are spelled the way they are. My kind of anarchy also offers guidelines.
How is that breaking the rules and being an anarchist???
