Grammar should supplement the language and the spirit of the story. Mandating perfect grammar while inducing a lag in a story's time to market is counterproductive. Before I get labeled as someone who hates grammar, let me make my point clear. Grammar, like spice, should add to the entree. Letting the dish go stale for want of getting all the needed spices right is missing the point. Maybe a majority would have still liked the dish, not minding the omission or inclusion of one of the many preferred spices. The dish here is communication. Should that not be the center stage? Constantly harassed for his non-eloquence and clumsiness with words, President Bush still holds court. Replete with grammar, many movie sketches are favorites with the people. Borat, anyone?

Anyone who is not a part of the solution is not essentially a part of the problem! My stand on this is neither black nor white. It's grey. A good yardstick for grammar (admittedly light and self-serving) is a spell check of MS Word or any others of its ilk. If it passes it and a read scan, it should be good. If it ain’t, it's an acceptable risk!
