Mooc edX UQx: Write 101x Englsih Grammar and Style Activity 1-2: Bow-tie-wearing martinets (prescriptivists) versus flaming liberals (descriptivists)

I would like to take a middle-ground approach to grammar between the poles of a grammar nazi and of Noam Chomsky as the linguist of generative grammar, whose research subject is all human speech. Although knowledge of the standard grammar is indispensable in our language life, being too particular about grammatical rules will put the cart before the horse in communication. Few people, including prescriptivists, stop and correct their speech every time they make a minor grammatical mistake, because it is the message, not the grammar, that is the most important in a sentence. On the other hand, although I accept anything that is uttered by humans as a language, I also believe that following the rules of the standard of a language is indispensable in proper communication, especially in avoiding misunderstanding.

I wrote "Few people, including prescriptivists, stop and correct their speech every time they make a minor grammatical mistake, because it is the message, not the grammar, that is the most important in a sentence. " I agree with the point, but I am not sure if it can be clearly said that it is the message, not the grammar that is the most important in a sentence. Probably the message and grammar are inseparable. The grammar makes the message. Therefore, the sentence above should be ""Few people, including prescriptivists, stop and correct their speech every time they make a minor grammatical mistake, because it is the message, not the minor grammar rules, that is the most important in a sentence. "
