GRAMMAR GOOFS Grammar, in greek, literally mean the art of letters Grammar is the business of taking a language to pieces,

to see how it works The system of rules implicit in a language, viewed as a mechanism for generating all sentences possible in that language. The study of how words and their component parts combine to form sentences. Grammar is the way in which words are put together to form proper sentences. Its important to write well-formed grammatical sentences if you want to create a good impression and get your meaning across effectively. Grammar is the system of a language. People sometimes describe grammar as the "rules" of a language; but in fact no language has rules*. If we use the word "rules", we suggest that somebody created the rules first and then spoke the language, like a new game. But languages did not start like that. Languages started by people making sounds which evolved into words, phrases and sentences. No commonly-spoken language is fixed. All languages change over time. What we call "grammar" is simply a reflection of a language at a particular time. Grammars evolve through usage and also due to separations of the human population. With the advent of written representations, formal rules about language usage tend to appear also. Formal grammars are codifications of usage that are developed by repeated documentation over time, and by observation as well. As the rules become established and developed, the prescriptive concept of grammatical correctness can arise. This often creates a discrepancy between contemporary usage and that which has been accepted, over time, as being correct. Linguists tend to view prescriptive grammars as having little justification beyond their authors' aesthetic tastes, although style guides may give useful advice about standard language employment, based on descriptions of usage in contemporary writings of the same language. Linguistic prescriptions also form part of the explanation for variation in speech, particularly variation in the speech of an individual speaker (an explanation, for example, for why some people say "I didn't do nothing", some say "I didn't do anything", and some say one or the other depending on social context). The formal study of grammar is an important part of education for children from a young age through advanced learning, though the rules taught in schools are not a "grammar" in the sense most linguists use the term, particularly as they are often prescriptive rather than descriptive. Constructed languages (also called planned languages or conlangs) are more common in the modern day. Many have been designed to aid human communication (for example, naturalistic Interlingua, schematic Esperanto, and the highly logic-compatible artificial language Lojban). Each of these languages has its own grammar. Common Grammar Mistakes that almost everyone commits levels of grammar geekery. let me tell you: grammar is an ultra-micro component in the larger picture; it lies somewhere in the final steps of the editing trail; and as such its an overrated quasi-irrelevancy in the creative process, perpetuated into importance primarily by bitter nerds who accumulate tweed jackets and crippling inferiority complexes. But experience has also taught me that readers, for better or worse, will approach your work with a jaundiced eye and an itch to judge. While your grammar shouldnt be a reflection of your creative powers or writing abilities, lets face it it usually is.

You might consider grammar an annoying technicality, a minuscule detail of speech and writing not worth much effort. But a study last year from the Society for Human Resources and Management shows that 45% of employers plan to increase training for grammar and other language skills (meaning they're unhappy with the levels now). So what you say does matter as much as how you say it, especially in a professional environment. So that means its perfectly fine to fracture the occasional stuff grammatical rule It can always be fixed to perfection later Part of creating your own content is to do exactly that: Write. Just write. After all, you can't become a better writer if you don't practice your craft. Grammar is the business of taking a language to pieces, to see how it works
