> novels started taking a more conversational style

It’s one thing to have conversational style and another to (almost) completely disregard grammar.

Let me guess: an iPhone? What a motherf**ing garbage the new iOS keyboard is. Hope whoever worked on it reads this and feels ashamed.

Verily, it could thus be said that that grammar of thine is incorrect, could it not? Wherefore dost thou decide grammar shan't change?

today's right grammar is yesterday's wrong grammar. yesterday's right grammar is today's cringe tryhard writing. languages evolve

and tbh most people who demand strict compliance are always the ones who make grammatical mistakes and don't realize it

> What a motherf*ing garbage the new iOS keyboard is

is not grammatically correct. "a" breaks the sentence
