i’ve always believed that grammatical rules are made to be broken. i am currently reading a novel that doesn’t use any quotations marks for dialogue, and another novel that uses run-on sentences liberally. i predict that within the next decade, we won’t even teach grammar rules in school. for now, i am comforted by the fact that i (mostly!) know the rules; but can make stylistic choices and break them when i want to. i am a grown woman, after all. there deserves to be some benefits that come with the crippling pressure of adulthood, right?!
