I know that most people who do this whole "writing" thing are pretty full on about grammar. Got to get all the punctuation in the right places, try not to dangle your participles, not mix up your their, there and they're.
I, however, am most definitely NOT one of them. I honestly couldn't give a rats about whether I'm appeasing the Grammar Nazis. Plenty of my sentences end in prepositions, I regularly split my infinitives, and I start sentences with "and" so regularly that I'd practically forgotten that was a rule at all.
I suppose, for me it's really about what feels right. How does it sound when I read it out loud? If I think it flows, that means more to me than whether I'm making my high school English teacher pivot in her grave (sorry Mrs Bryant).
But, if it's all the same to you, maybe I'll keep the Oxford comma ... no one should have to see Stalin wearing a pair of pasties.
