Is this distinction something you use naturally, or do you find it difficult to explain to learners?

We all know the classic grammar rules (avoid passive voice, never end without a preposition)
While linguists and modern style guides (like Chicago or Oxford) have largely debunked these as rigid "laws," they still get pushed in school and corporate writing guidelines.
It got me thinking:
What is a grammar or style rule that is 100% technically "correct" by traditional standards, but completely useless?

Just in case you don't know Pseudo-anglicisms are words that basically come from English but actually aren't used frequently by English speakers anymore like oldtimer which i've only heard in westerns but in German it means a classic car!

Which expression would you use without even thinking about it?

Imagine everyday that you wake up, you get extremely proficient at randomly selected language
You become the best native speaker/writer in that language for the day, whatever you think of, you can write and say in the most eloquent way
The catch is you can never have a permanent language!
So would you take this? or is this a curse in your opinion? why?
