Had an Anthropology professor explain it to me. Even though I was a psychology major, never heard about in those classes.
She explained to me that is the message is conveyed by the author to the reader the grammar is correct.
No one, not even me can read my handwriting. My mother was an English teacher and had me practice writing and spelling forever. Finally gave up.
For your and my sanity, just let go of it.
