"I don't like rules" is hardly a good reason to break from agreed-upon
conventions that help people communicate with each other.  If one spoke a
version of Spanish and Klingon with German sentence structure just because
he didn't like rules, he would have the right.  But if he wishes to be
understood, he might try to speak reasonably well in the language of the
listener.
