A long time ago I used to pause while reading articles when I found "faulty
grammar". But I eventually came to the conclusion that it was more rewarding to
take in what was written rather than how it was written. Even later I realised that the
grammar we were taught at school is not a set of rules to be obeyed but a set of
discoveries about how real people speak and write.
Okay, back to the Cue Ell.
... but grammar is the foundation of language *and* understanding.
Let grammar slip and meaning becomes less clear, or even entirely different!
