In George Orwell's article about the English language, he says that grammar doesn't matter as long as the point the statement is trying to convey is received by the reader. Orwell has written many world-renowned books including 1984 and Animal Farm and throughout those books, he uses incorrect grammar. Neither of the books are hurt from George starting a sentence with 'and' or 'because'. I fully support Orwell when he says that grammar doesn't need to be perfect. Throughout my lifetime, my parents and teachers have told me that i need to have perfect grammar in my works but this year has opened my eyes. Every time i ask them, "why?" they respond with a slippery slope argument which isn't a valid argument. If i saw the homeless man in the picture in real life, I would know that he wanted to work so that he could get food. I don't believe this man should be thought of differently because he is illiterate.
