Bad grammar, monster, is a solecism. Solecisms are bad.

Hmmm.... Bad, huh?
Bad is subjective. Are we talking "the bad place" bad? Or more of the "technology is bad" bad? Or perhaps the "girl, you so bad" bad? Or maybe the Lieutentant Hauk "bad comedy" bad?
Please be more specific.
- Are the two bads the same type of bad?
- Which type(s) of bad?
- Which is which?
- Do you use solecism to mean grammatical mistake or a breach of good manners?
- If you mean mistake, do you mean that I made a mistake in deliberately ignoring grammatical correctness or do you mean that my incorrectness was not deliberate? Or do you believe that intent does not make a mistake and a deliberate act mutually exclusive?
- If you meant a breach of good manners, do you not believe that the same etiquette you perceive me to have transgressed would demand that you not draw attention to my embarrassment?
- Is your repetition of the word bad, bad?
- Is my repetition of the word bad, bad?
- Will I be going to Hell for my badness?
- Can I choose somewhere further away? Hell is frozen over right now.
In my opinion, inability to express oneself clearly is bad. But I am able to appreciate that not everyone shares my opinion. And that deliberate badness can be a good thing
