In order to write clearly, you need to think clearly.

In my opinion, John Warner is trying to screw with people’s brains and hopelessly muddying their thinking. No good writing will come from that.

That is so true, as is the reverse. I find myself turning to writing almost every time I am angry or perplexed over something I don’t understand. The process of writing my thoughts and editing my writing over and over to make it more concise will often help me to understand why I am confused or angry and give me a clear plan of resolution.

I think what John Warner is doing is akin to moral relativity and cultural relativity. In his case, it is grammar relativity. Standards based on how an individual “feels” never work. Without absolutes, our society will drift into an unrecognizable state.
