There are no rules in screenwriting, if your script is amazing.
That means it is so good that it is undeniable, no matter if the work is riddled with mistakes, poor spelling, bad grammar, weird formatting, and all the various things screenwriters argue about in Facebook groups, seminars, and coffee shops. Those rules exist for a reason, but they aren't the most important thing.
My advice: Write something amazing.
