Grammar in the modern age.

This maybe just me and so take this comment with a pinch of salt but standard English grammar is old fashioned and obsolete. It does give you a guide to good pace and pause, I do not mean to run it down. Yet if your readers do not care wither a colon, semi-colon or a comma is used, then the only person, nursing the hangover, of using incorrect grammar is you, the writer. A persons imagination creates the voices of the people and adds the punctuation even as we read, even when we do not wish it to. I like good grammar but is it important in a digital world? Of course not, it it is one of the last trenches that we writers are huddled in looking for good, old fashioned readers. Better to create a great story that catches the imagination and the love of the reader than to make sure you have your apostrophes in the right place.
