I suspect almost everyone nowadays agrees with these commonsensical injunctions to disregard the boring old rules we were taught in school. This is all fine; but I part company with the purists who not only object to the rules but also object to the teaching of rules and the teachers who drum these things into young heads. I do think breaking rules is a good thing to do, but if you don’t know what the rules are . . .
The infographic was sent by The Digital Reader, and created by The Expert Editor, an Australian editing company.
Making Book 
I criticized this listicle over at Digital Reader, and I stick by my criticism. The short form is that anyone who doesn’t know that there is a perfectly cromulent noun “affect,” and an equally valid verb “effect” probably shouldn’t be giving grammar advice.
That’s true: even if the advice is to ignore “grammar”. I must have given up on reading the entire thing — which I obviously should not do. However I would probably have published the post anyway, making a comment on that screw up as well. I cannot imagine that Australian grammar is also upside down.
But, not being hidebound by rules is still a valuable strategy. (Odd word that hidebound.)
P.S. I am reminded of some friends who years ago set up a full-service company (copyediting, proofreading etc.). The brochure they sent out announcing their company ended with the inspiring rallying cry “Leave it to us — we are the exparts.”
In spite of this the company became quite a success.
