The important thing is to be understood.

If you use words that no-one else uses, they will not understand you. And if you do not follow the usual grammar 'rules' when writing or speaking, people will get very confused.

For example, if you say "Like I much very you" to someone dear to you, your message of affection might miss its mark!

With a little effort they could possibly, in time, work out what you are trying to say, but why make it hard for them!

If you want to reach someone's mind and heart, it is always best to speak their language their way, according to the customary and standard way their language is usually spoken.

It is very important to use the right words, and put them in the right order, otherwise it will be like when using PIN numbers, but using the wrong PIN numbers, or the right PIN numbers but in the wrong order! You just won't get through!
