However if ‘”to” really isn’t correct then it actually fits well with the point of the post.

You’re right though. “For” would probably have been the better choice.

I don’t think education is personally concerned.

Is this a proper use of the word do or should it be replaced with due?

i.e. The damage is do or due to the settlement?

There are definitely times when you’re writing needs to be more formal and adhere to all the rules of grammar, but it really depends on who you’re writing for and what the medium is.

Sometimes I think of the best literature I’ve read and how often they bent the rules to make a point. And then how many things they do end up becoming acceptable and part of the language.

I guess I enjoy words.

I don’t usually make a habit of commenting on posts that are a couple of years old, but I just ran across this one for the first time, and wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it.

I think that sometimes it makes sense to take that risk in breaking rules of language, in business writing, in blog writing, in communicating ideas.

It’s the unique, the meaningful, the creative, and sometimes the nonsensical that makes our thoughts stand out. And, as your state in your comment, if breaking the rules of grammar, of spelling, of word usage can improve our communications, then we should consider fracturing a few words and sentences.
