Writing without standard grammar, spelling, and punctuation is like wearing a sign that says,
Hi, I'm stupid and lazy. However, sometimes nonstandard grammar helps make a speech more powerful. In the 1942 movie,
The Male Animal Henry Fonda plays a college professor who uses a controversial, but some would consider eloquent, work of prose in his English course. The controversy surrounded the fact that the author was a Communist, but the work has nothing to do with Communism. I don't remember the subject of the work, but I remember thinking that the lack of standard grammar added to the message.
