"Why would anyone want to take a break from rules that are occasionally subjective, vary by region, and are not always intuitive to everyone?" <--You

I love English and grammar as much as the next anon, but it's not hard to understand why some people don't.

Next time I go driving in another country, I'm going to follow this philosophy, just for fun. When the cops walk up after my several car pile up, I'll just say, hey, your driving rules are occasionally subjective, vary by region, and are not always intuitive by everyone! I'm trying to take a -break- here!

I know, lives and property aren't on the line where good grammar is concerned. But whether or not I believe you to be an intelligent, thoughtful person or someone pounding on their keyboard in-between Springer reruns is wholly and entirely up to you. And possibly me. But also you.

That analogy is really far-fetched precisely because lives and property aren't on the line with tumblrspeak. You get to think they sound stupid, but that tells me a lot more about you than about them.

What's a lot closer to reality is how this conversation is like people speaking different varieties of English complaining about how the others are IDIOTS who CLEARLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE because they pronounce the word 'new' the wrong way and use/don't use intrusive 'r' and pronounce/don't pronounce the letter 'h', and don't know what a biscuit is supposed to be.

FFS, people. Sociolects: they exist.

"Why would anyone not want a break from the ability to make their written thoughts clearer and easier to read by others?" <--You

Nobody's talking about splitting infinitives or ending sentences with prepositions here. Please tell me in what dialect or subculture capitalizing the first word of a sentence, proper names, and the word "I" is subjective or varies by region.

I could understand wanting to take a break from writing, because some people find putting their thoughts into words to be work rather than pleasurable, but basic grammar and punctuation are part of successful written communication. Go back to what I said about "taking a break" from vowels. A block of text in all lowercase, with no sentence breaks or commas separating clauses, can be deciphered by a reader, just like writing with all the vowels omitted can be deciphered by a reader -- but if you're trying to communicate with other people, what would possess you to force them to do it?
