Grammar
Also, I would like to make a note on grammar. I get this a lot, whether it is due to my own atrocious grammatical habits or not. But it usually comes from the same individuals. And yet, they have so few original ideas, although they follow the arbitrary and quite frankly ambiguous at times rules of grammar to a 'T.' An idea or a thought is not necessarily clarified by grammar. And at times if one is too busy focusing on 'how' they express themselves or a thought that has come to them, the very framework of language that they worship like some silly god with a fruit headdress, the content they compose suffers greatly. It would be like worrying about the soundness of a container so much so that the ingredients one puts in the punch is just grabbed willy-nilly while the conjurer is looking over the pitcher with the greatest of care. I don't know about you, but if my container leaks a little, it is far better than too much sugar or some accidental ingredient, such as salt or oregano, thrown in which will ruin the beverage altogether. And so, to the grammar nazis that elevate themselves to some educational god-like status or some pedagogical linguistic, I say focus more on what you put in the paragraph or sentence more than how the sentence is structured based on some rules that emerge spontaneously.
