answer:I agree grammar should be creative and interesting for it to be fun enough for kids or even some adults to want to try. I do think that a lot of the ‘much older’ generation had very few subjects in those days and so pondered on whether a comma or an apostrophe should be used here or there. These days kids have many more subjects and more demands.I used to feel that hard ruled grammar was a bit like playing tactical chess, As in boring. It somehow took the joy of literature away for me. I could not fly away to a land of imagination and pictures, I had to stare at words on a page. At times though when I see beautifully written pieces, which is rare, I really understand how it makes whatever the person is saying come to life. Less scorn more advice, even here on fluther would be better for those that were not really that interested in grammar at school but would like to learn now. When they are scornful they need to consider, we, for the most part are educated people and could knock their socks off with our various expertise, without the scornful attitude, hopefully.
