grammaragnostic

Grammaragnostic is a term that describes a person who is not consciously aware of or concerned with the rules of grammar. This can be due to a variety of reasons, including lack of formal education, natural language acquisition, or personal preference. Grammaragnostics often rely on intuition and context to communicate effectively, rather than adhering to traditional grammar rules. This approach can lead to unique and sometimes unconventional language use, but it can also result in misunderstandings or misinterpretations. Despite this, grammaragnostics can be highly effective communicators, as they often possess strong verbal and written skills. The term was coined by linguist and author John McWhorter in his book "The Power of Babel."
