Guest Post: 15 Grammar Rules It’s Okay to Break by The Expert Editor. #BookBlogger #BookBloggers #Blogger #Bloggers

Today on The Tattooed Book Geek I am pleased to be bringing to you all something a little different. I was recently contacted by Isabel Cabrera from The Expert Editor about sharing an infographic titled “15 Grammar Rules It’s Okay to Break“. Now, as someone whose own grammar is less than stellar, I jumped at the opportunity to share this fascinating infographic with you all. 

Firstly, though, here is a brief introduction by Isabel Cabrera to introduce the graphic:

If there is one thing you can always count on humanity to do, it’s enacting change. Cultures, religions, beliefs – every part of human existence and the ways we understand and operate in the world change. Sometimes these changes are quick and immediate, but mostly they take generations and centuries to notably evolve.

And perhaps one of the most important ways we change almost imperceptibly is in our language. Every year, decade, and generation slightly nudge language a certain direction. New words, new phrases, new ways of saying things and new rejections of older methods.

These changes find themselves incrementally incorporated into everyday speech. If it weren’t for our written records, we probably wouldn’t realize the immensity of these changes at all!

And because of these changes, all those rules your grumpy old English teacher quizzed you over aren’t as vital as they made them seem. Don’t get us wrong: rules are important, and knowing why rules exist is critical towards having a complete grasp of the English language. But only until you know the rules can you make the best decision to break them.

As they say, “rules were made to be broken”. And when it comes to grammar rules, there’s never a better time to break the rules than right after you learn them.

Here are a few old classic grammar rules and exactly why you don’t need to remember them anymore:
