"Me Speak Good" for Rankings

In doing some keyword research for a post about aquaponics I came across a keyword that has basically no competition but isn't exactly proper english. For those who don't know what aquaponics is, don't worry too much about it. (But it's the coolest thing ever).

The question is when, if ever, to abandon completely proper english for the sake of QSR?

The keyword has similar traffic to related keywords on the topic, but the QSR is 4. I came upon the keyword using the Alphabet soup method so it was a suggested search term from Google.

I generally try to be a stickler for proper English, but is it worth it to get a little lax for the sake of rankings?

I should point out that it isn't an egregious misusage, and it appears to be acceptable vernacular for the subject matter.

I have read some stuf on WA and other websites that are so obviously chasing keywords, and it is annoying. I don't think this is obvious, but I also don't want to get started down a slippery slope.

Thoughts?
