This is a link to the '7 Golden Grammar Rules' written by Jeremy Butterfield.
Things seven need about know to you grammar.
1. You know enough grammar (ie syntax) to untangle that heading. Congratulations!2. Objecting to “verbing” nouns (eg “to interface”) is not grammar. Charitably speaking, it is a stylistic preference; uncharitably, it is paranoid prejudice.
3. Mispelling [sic] a word is not grammer [sic]. It is poor spelling. But who never makes a spelling mistake?
4. If a Yorkshire person says “it were her”, or someone from anywhere says “I done”, it is not bad grammar. It is non-standard, which is not the same.
5. New words/expressions are neither good nor bad. Like them or loathe them, they have nowt to do with grammar.
7. If you dislike the way someone pronounces something, you dislike it. That’s all. Again, grammar doesn’t come into it.
If you click onto the link, there are other some other information and explanations on what is and what isn't grammar.
