You know, it's okay to intentionally fudge your grammar sometimes. It's not like you're turning in a paper or something, and often times correct grammar doesn't really mirror the way we end up talking. If you screw up once, that's grammatically incorrect, but if you screw up twice, that's blank verse poetry. And jazz.
Oh, I'm aware. I just have the little voices of grammar and composition instructors whispering in the back of my mind... making me feel like I have delusions of grandeur if I vary from the academically accepted grammar. Of course, I do that all the time... both vary from accepted structural norms and have delusions of grandeur.
As mom once said, "It is well to remember that grammar is common speech formulated." Oh wait, that was Maugham.
