Breaking the rules
We could say something similar about speakers. . .Knowing all the rules can make you a decent speaker, but knowing which rules to break - and how - can make you an outstanding and memorable speaker.
Personally, I'm against the "no ums and uhs" rule.
Which rules do you break?

I'm not sure I would agree that all of those are broken rules. Getting everyone into groups to discuss a topic is a great idea and, hey, everyone needs to pee sometimes.
Eric Feng talks on his blog about leaving the mic on in the restroom, too. That's hilarious! I'm extra conscious about that one now.
