In “So I'm Like, Who Needs This Grammar Stuff?” by Kendall Hamilton, the author seems to be a little open and okay with using wrong words and making grammatical errors. He seems like he does not really care because he mentions how in the future it won’t matter. He mentions how an english professor said “...most of the grammar rules are already dead or dying.” He also mentions that “students language skills in general seem to be on the downswing.” The professor states “And as english continues to spread, it will inevitably develop new wrinkles.” The english language will change over time so the stuff we learn now will not matter as much.

I believe as long as the reader understands what you are saying then it should not matter. However, some educated people on grammar and language might not understand someone who was not good at grammar or language. But for upcoming generations language and grammar is going to begin to die down and not matter anymore because it changes throughout the years it never stays consistent. In the article “So I'm Like, Who Needs This Grammar Stuff?” professor Kendall Hamilton emphasises how technology is going to grow and change how people read and write in the near future. Larson quotes “Most of the standard grammar rules are based on the lathe base of the english language as interpreted in the 1600’s and 1700’s, but we know now that english is an aggregation from many languages over time, and those latin rules are dead or dying, and seldom can be applied to the vitality of our 21st century english.” Larson compares english to physics by stating that there are no actual rules to grammar like there are in physics.

For example “They’re going to the park.” “Their” means belongs to so you would say “This laptop belongs to their mother.” For “there” it means in, at or to that place or position so you would say “We stayed there for 5 days.” In the article “Why Is It Important To Use Correct Grammar” by Pat Bensky he gives examples on how certain grammatical errors can change the meaning of an entire sentence. For example he
