I was born somewhat poor too, but if I managed to differentiate the usages of different grammatical functions then other poor people people should too. It is almost like language inefficiency is worn like a badge of honour. No, we shouldn't aspire to talk like Jordan, we should indeed aspire to talk like Steven Fry etc. People who use language in creative and beautiful ways. They don't try to sodomise the language, only other people.
Why are you of the assumption that the people who find your pseudo intellectual rantings entirely irrelevant must also speak with poor grammar?

Again, it's all down to whether or not you put much stock in text book Grammar.

I'd wager that Haye, putting his energy into athleticism and sporting pursuits has probably garnered greater success and notability than you have with your pursuit of a language.

Just a hunch.
