The vast majority of the "rules" of English grammar that most people remember or better, "fail to remember" were never actual rules of the English language. They were simply prescriptions, made up rules that have persisted not so much in actual use but in the harangues of folks steeped in this mythology.
One was discussed in another thread, the "double negative/negative concord".
There seems to be a great reluctance on the part of folks to actually discuss them.
