If breaking rules prior to knowing them and using them it shows up as weak and ineffectual. I love that kinda universal synergy. http://www.quazen.com/Arts/Visual-Arts/My-Foundart-Series-Lost-Art-While-Travelling.179977 Every artform is proven to require that one knows the rules before breaking them – it seems oxymoronic but its true.

But that doesn't make it correct. Because it is always wrong. Except when I do it. And I also like to start sentences with conjunctions. But that doesn’t make it correct. Because it is always wrong.

You are right to point out that writers still should work on knowing the rules which means work. We don't have to worry about writers breaking the rules.

These days I break pretty much every rule. My poems, at times, have no capital letters and rarely have punctuation. When I compose and article, it's pretty much free-form.

Thanks for this, I hope people take the time to read it. Keep sharing! I’ve owned a copy of “The Elements of Style” since high school. These days I break pretty much every rule.
