Grammar

First off, this is not intended to insult or criticize anyone's abilities. To each their own.  If one wants to observe all the rules for proper english grammar, the more of power to you. The world should be proud of your dedication to such detail.

I will not judge you. Myself personally, I place 98% importance on the ability to conveying ones thoughts and feelings in writing rather than emphasizing all the grammar and punctuation rules. So if I seem a bit lax on proper grammar... Well... It's just not that important to me. So just as I will not judge you, perhaps I am entitled to the same consideration. It seems a waste to write something, and all someone takes away from it is the thought that too many grammar rules were broken... missing the whole intent of the article. But then again that's your loss and your hang up... And perhaps not the most important thing in life. If that's all it takes to irritate you... well... That's just not for me... But you are welcome to it. 


I've met too many people that are sticklers for all the rules, and can not even effectively express their thoughts and feelings in writing. But that's somewhat besides the point... Why judge others? 
So here's to being able express your thoughts and feelings in writing... And having someone else read it and know exactly what you meant. Perhaps even identify with you, alter their perception on a certain topic, provide a bit of enlightenment, invoke memories, or even perhaps inspire.  

If nothing more, simply enjoy an amusing story that will bring a smile to your face, or maybe even touch your heart. 

So take from things what you will. Enjoy the intent, and less on the rules.
