I actually did not know that some of these now "bogus rules" were rules in the first place. Some of them are just things I avoid doing o do all the time without knowing that I am making a grammar Nazi mad. I didn't know you weren't supposed to split infinitives, I honestly didn't even know what on was until I started taking French. I end sentences in English with prepositions all the time, and again the only reason I know that it is wrong is beccause of my French class. Ms. West gets super annoyed when you end a sentence with one and since you cannot do it in French she WILL correct you. I didn't even know there was a rule for which. I don't start a sentence with And or But because it just seems weird, so even though it is now okay to do so I will continue to avoid it. I also didn't know not using a passive voice was a grammar law, sucks to suck I do that a lot. The singular verb one is super confusing, pretty positive I use that one wrong a lot too, but oh well I could care less. The word rule is a weird one and I can't say I completely understand it. From the article I learned that I am very ignorant when it comes to grammar, but I don't care enough to change it. Sorry.
