Of course it is possible, and it happened to me indeed: at some point I didn't remember why I said or wrote certain things one way instead of another.

As I see things, however, the only desirable part is to automate things so you don't have to think about the rules (which should happen pretty soon anyway), not forgetting them. If it's true that we cannot 'fill up' our brains and if I could choose and if remembering things didn't somehow 'slow the machine down', I'd never forget anything.

For a while I had a reputation as 'memory man' (not a memory wizard or anything) but it is I who alone can tell you that many things *have been* lost.

Becoming a teacher officially was an excellent way to actively maintain my grammar :)
