As for all of you grammar experts out there... I’m convinced that you are all part of some elite group that gets together every once in a while and change all the rules - just to keep us novices from understanding them
Nah . . .
I just get kind of anal when I write my own stories--don't like to turn in anything less than mostly-clean copy. Some of that kicks in when I BR/edit, and grammar/spelling/punctuation errors make me cringe when I read them.
The rules haven't changed--much. And even the ones that have changed I don't pay attention to, 'cause I'm convinced that the "newer" rules are just created so people can be sloppy about grammar and say they're still right. :p
