This is why grammar is not optional. I have no clue what you said or are trying to convey. Yeah english is flexible, but that doesn't mean you can just drop articles and sentence structure.

Leading to the question of whether "understanding" is the responsibility of the speaker or the listener.

In a world where every other fact is contended, it's unlikely there will be agreement about that either.

You broke my compiler!

Your compiler was broken; I didn't break it:

Verbs are not always required:

"Why?"

"Because."

"Dude!"

"Kinda?"

"Just no."

Contains too many nouns is not a thing. Your compiler should have errored on a mismatch between discrete and continuous quantities (much thinkings should either be many thoughts or much thinking) and then on a compound noun without hyphenation.

Creative punctuation is normal; really, we've only standardized on punctuation since the mid-1700s or so.

Capitalization is, again, stylistic: e.e. cummings, notably, was against it. So was Archie.

And you broke on == and !fits, but the context of reading Hacker News ought to equip your parser with adequate sidechains.

Without grammar, you have words being used completely at random. Using words the way you are, with reduced syntactic structure, is still using grammar, even if you use more punctuation instead of words; that said, the difference between punctuation & word is somewhat blurred even in formal writing.

> Audience knowledge crucial. one style !fits all.

And this is the essence of style.

I understood the ideas you're trying to convey, but the annoyance I experienced with the conveyance was palpable. :)

Then I'm afraid I got my meaning across entirely clearly.

This reminds me of that episode of the office.
