Grammar is the last desperate refuge of the pendantic.
Allow me to pedantically point out the correct spelling is "pedantic." :P

Language evolves.

Grammar that doesn't evolve along with language becomes worthless and ignored by all but those who have nothing better to do.

Yup. Exactly.

Ever wonder why we don't all speak like Shakespeare?

Doth and thou and all that.

It's because the language changed, and the grammar changed along with it.

Do bear in mind that I haven't actually been formally taught grammar, really, so I have no clue what youmean by subjects and objects.
For a simple example, take the sentence, "I like napkins." The speaker "I" is the subject, and the verb "like" indicates what the subject does. Napkins are the object, as they have the verb's action done to them. All complete sentences aside from commands have a subject (and some commands start with "you" for a subject), but many sentences have no objects, such as "Love hurts" or "rutabegas are cool."

Y'know, I don't think I ever was taught the difference between a verb and a noun.

I do remember we were taught some stupid little rhyming song about it, but to my frustration, we were never actually taught, y'know, *actual* grammer.

I was an unfortunate part of the last grade to be taught grammar at one of my schools. It was horrid, but getting rid of it probably wasn't a very good idea.

Lucky you! Grammar was a subject in all elementary school and junior highs, and we had two ours every weeks... (shivers)

And as for English grammar, I studied it when I started learning English, but we had more specific "grammar lessons" when I went to the university, before that it was mixed with text commentaries and stuff like that, that you do when you learn a language in high school.

If that type of speech ever becomes common practice for written English then I swear I will knowingly ignore using them.
