10 GRAMMAR RULES YOU CAN FORGET: how to stop worrying and write proper

Guardian Grammar Blog http://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/sep/30/10-grammar-rules-you-can-forget

The article deals with some advices about grammar rules and it tries to explain that the "correct form isn't always the best". The author shows why we can forget rules such as "don't divide the particle to from the infinitive form" or" don't end a sentence with a preposition": we can infringe these rules if the result sounds more natural. So a colloquialism is often better than a grammatically correct form.
This conclusion is a consequence of the awareness of grammar rule changes: English is spoken by people all over the world and this language is so alive that it's ever changing. Actually all the spoken languages​​ undergo this process of renewal: for example Italian language today includes lots of neologisms taken from English such as "chattare" or "loggarsi".
