Re "Me and Lillian" a fellow prof told me once that she explains breaking grammatical rules to her students via the analogy of crossing at the light. When you're a kid, you cross with the light. When you're an adult, you have enough knowledge to know when you can cross against the light. Yes, you might get 'in trouble' but that doesn't mean you were wrong in your assessment!
