grammars.
Which grammar should you follow Which is right None. Or at least none all of the time.
At various moments, for various reasons, any grammar or set of rules for writing or speaking will be inappropriate,
become outmoded, or simply not suit unanticipated needs. Rules written down are xed, but circumstances change. Our speech and writing change with circumstances, violating grammatical
rules whenever communication, art, science, or our lives demand a di erent, fresh, new way to express our thoughts. See
scientific language and
audience.That said, it must be kept in mind that writing or speaking without any rules can be chaotic and may not meet with comprehension at any level. In that case speech or writing has lost its main purpose. And even minor violations of the rules can lead to the same mess and misunderstanding. Therefore, unless there is a compelling reason
to break a rule or reshape it, follow it with care. It exists to help keep statements clear, concise, and comprehensible. Breaking it intentionally might help achieve the goals of speaking or writing but breaking a rule through sloppiness,
inattention, or lack of concern will surely not aid expression or understanding. More likely, careless errors will disrupt the delivery of your ideas and lead your audience to mistrust the source of such confusion. See
