That pretty close to what I was standing for.
I neither want to forbid grammer nor get rid of any of the linguistics standards that might help communication. The grammar I was trying to point is the kind that is taught in education system, that is used as weapon against those who cannot follow or do not follow those standards, meanwhile some of the responders here were going back and forth between applied and scientific grammar and picking the strongest case against my point at will. If you read my post you will see that I always stated "applied grammar" as my main target and I also tried to state that in my view grammar should be kept as a science and should not be used to as a form of applied standard. Grammar and language are ever changing structures you cannot retroactively apply standards on proactive future and this is what I called as form of fascism. Same thing goes with science of statistics, they gather data from societies-people and use it to reshape the society but the problem is the data from any statistic cloud will always be data of the past.
Any grammar should be "suggestive" at best in our education system. Unfortunately grammar is thought as the holly lines. That is what I am against for. I wonder if anyone can say that the grammars that are thought in the classes are just suggestive material. I doubt so really.
Language has alot of legs like writing, speaking,listening,reading etc. When you say grammar which grammar are we talking about? To me its seems like there is only one grammar in our education systems and they try to fit one into all.

I am not confusing grammar with diction. But these are all interconnected issues as far as their application goes, you cannot seperate them first of all.
Again I never disrespected anything, some of the comments against my basic argument are not nreflecting my original intention at all. I myself spent quite sometime readind thinking about these particular issues, I might not be a scientist but as someone who can speak at least one language I am an expert on my own in my own view in my own world and I have all the freedom in the world to think and create ideas as long as I can back them up. Thus I have stated my opinion.
You are saying that grammar helps to standardize the language, sure and that is precisely what I am against for. I personally do not want standardized languages especially done by some small group of people. Can you tell me who make these standards? I am not looking for a conspiracy, really, but when we say standardizations we mean that some people some institutions some groups come together and at least make some basic desicions. And I find that morally and socially wrong. That is pretty much it.
Languages are a very powerful tools and should be taken into account properly and deeply. Standardization is a very cheap way of destroying massive possibilities.
