Good grammar is essential! 'Newspeak' isn't perfectly clear, nor is it easy for those unfamiliar with the terms to grasp. Newspeak changes rapidly and it can't be assumed that all are savvy with the new fang dangled slang. Grammar helps maintain a standard in which all can communicate effectively. Not only that but it's difficult for foreigners to follow. This is important in a language where we have more foreign speakers than in any other.
So, for me, grammar is practical... not to mention that naturally it repulses me to read something written without it for aesthetic reasons.
