'Grammar and Boxing' Introduction to Mad Toy, Aynesworth, p.13

I have tried overall to respect the "hasty writing" on which he prided himself. "Grammar is like boxing," he wrote in one of his newspaper columns. You can follow the "grammar" of punches you've been taught by a teacher of the European style, but to make a great fight, you have to throw punches from every angle. Similarly, "the people who, like ours, are under going continuous changes, draw upon words from all angles, words that set teachers' teeth on edge."
