But all the other grammer errors I make are perfectly acceptable.

As is always the case when defining that which is "right" and "wrong", it all depends on what is chosen as the standard.Originally posted by drdeutsch
By the way, Jaltus, there's absolutely nothing wrong with double negatives.

I still want to know how the KJV can be inspired when it can't even get the 10 commandments correct?
It's murder, the 6th commandment is you shall not murder. I cringe whenever I see Thou shalt not kill.

Using the Merriam-Webster dictionary as my standard, I was using the term "standard" to mean "rule, principle, or measure" rather than "custom, or general consent".Originally posted by drdeutsch
And it depends on what is defined as "standard." Obviously, Standard American English prescriptive grammar would say "no double negatives," "no split infinitives," and "no dangling participles."
However, if they are used consistently, then they are no longer grammatical errors; rather, they are rules of the language itself, whether that language is used by 1 person or 1 million.
