Do any authors here have a little fun playing around with grammar? I read a lot outside of Lit--classics and modern fiction--and I've seen a lot of interesting takes on "proper" grammar. The English language is a living language, and it seems to me that, so long as the author's points are evident and intelligible, grammar can be bent to fit their particular voice. My favorite example is using a third conjunction: "He went to the store to get some strawberries, and he discovered that they were on sale, but they were starting to grow mold." This is technically incorrect, but it captures the author's stream of consciousness better.
