Is there any harm in trying to do something the right way?
I appreciate your sentiment but, is there a right way?
Rules evolved over time but human beings have communicated verbally for far longer, and, in many more varieties than the written languages portray. Only last week I struggled to understand a local Orkney ferryman and yet his crew mate could understand every word. Go to most corners of the UK, most regional housing estates, shopping centres, even schools and universities, and you'll find that the structure and use of words, phrases and punctuation differs from the codified set.
As I understand it the rules are supposed to try and make it possible for example, for a Cornishman and a Shetlander to gain the same understanding. However, even written English can be difficult to interpret as indicated by the fact that professions such as Law created extra rules to remove ambiguity within the profession.
The rules do not reflect conversational English, the type of English used by many on this forum.
Live and let live.
