I make an effort to use proper grammar because I write for a living, and for a series of clients at that. Everything has to be perfect, every comma, colon and bullet point has to be formatted exactly the same way. Drives me nuts.
I just don't put much stock in it personally. It's an unfortunate necessity as far as I'm concerned.

It may be said with rough accuracy that there are three stages in the life of a strong people. First, it is a small power, and fights small powers. Then it is a great power, and fights great powers.
