rule of thirds
sometimes I follow rules and sometimes you couldn't pay me enough to do so.
my favorite explanation of why something is done a certain way, why it is a rule, is 'because that's the way it's always been done'. years ago i showed the VP of the company i was working for a better, more efficient, way of doing a certain task. he agreed my way made more sense 'but...this is the way it's always been done'..in other words we ain't changing it. not surprisingly that company folded a few years later.
one rule i really like and wholeheartedly support is 'chew with your mouth closed'. when my kids were little and broke that rule i'd say tell them 'you're not a cow chewing cud, are you? then close your mouth, please'.
punctuation and capitalization rules i rarely follow simply out of laziness. i'm no rebel.
