Is the meaning conveyed correctly? Then the language was not used incorrectly. That is the only criterion. If an inaccurate meaning is conveyed, then the grammar and structure needs to be reworked. I'm sure you've heard the one about the panda that eats, shoots, and leaves, right? I'm not saying that all structure is worthless, I'm saying that people who correct you over split infinitives or ending a sentence with a preposition are douchebags.
