Lots of writers work outside of conventional rules of composition:
e.e.cummings, Kerouak, Joyce, for example. Curiously, hack writers who
churn out mountains of pointless drivel seem to always follow "the
rules." Don't let grammar get in the way wnen you have something to
say. There is a class of pecksmith critics who love to pick at writing
errors while missing the whole point of the communication. That's why
good writing teachers at elementary school encourage writing efforts
that probably contain lots of errors.

It's a matter of common courtesy to use some visual anchors when you
cannot control the final appearance of the work. The font and spacing
on web pages, various newsreaders, etc. is not rigidly fixed, versus
a roll of UPI paper in a Hermes typewriter.
