Well for me I feel that the purpose of language is to convey meaning/intention/explanation. So if what someone writes conveys their meaning/intention then they have used their language successfully. Minor deviations from the most popular current usage practices are nothing to trifle over.

For example, in my most recent post I used "your" instead of "you're" and also included the shunned word "gotten" and some of the sentences maybe a bit confusing but I expect that most could understand what I was trying to say.

By-the-way: You seem to have a very Latin biased view of English. You do realize that linguists typical classify English as a West Germanic language and not a Romance one.

"So if what someone writes conveys their meaning/intention then they have used their language successfully".

Only if your reader actually understands what you have written.

ttbn,
you reckon that's 'doable' ?

individual,

Not always 'doable'. Some people need pictures. And, as you posted somewhere else recently, some people don't actually read what others write; they are interested only in what they want to say.

I'm happy to flaunt my general superiority without flouting any law or conventions.

Regrettably, some posters dribble when they write drivel whereas I consciously try to avoid doing so, and conscientiously check my work before posting.

Alternatively, I write without hyperbowl or even hyperbole at all, but alternately I'm excited and depressed about the misuse of the language, and growing disuse of proper grammar.

Dribble for drivel is one of my pet hates. I don't mind being advised that I'm talking drivel, but being accused of dribbling is a bit much.
