The very best part about English writing standards is that there are so many to pick from!
At the end of the day, it really is subjective: A reader either likes a style and/or finds that it is conducent to conveying meaning, or they do not.
(Speaking of unlikable styles, I'm just going to take the liberty to interpret the name-calling as your resignation on this matter. Have a nice day, comrade.)
Agree to disagree. It allows badly written stuff to be defended, I would argue more often than alternative more acceptable case scenarios.
Outside of settings requiring formalized style, people are free to write and to speak however they wish.
Others are free to dislike this.
> people are free to write and to speak however they wish.
Yes, that doesn't mean standards don't exist, nor that good and bad writing styles don't exist.
Don't be one of those 'everything is subjective' doofuses, please.

This monumentally misses the point.

And this is just the disappointing and flatly incorrect view I hoped not to see. Sigh. Have a great day/night buddy.
