Yes. Like "baloney."
Anybody serious about writing should take grammar and its attendant
conventions equally seriously. Don't trivialize the issue by reducing it
to a matter of oppressed students and stifled creativity. Or by reducing
it to "subtle placement of commas, etc." Or by continuing to peddle this
nonsense about grammar and content being independent matters. Before
long, you'll be declaiming righteously about how ideas and inspirations
exist separately from language.
