Editor, educator, word nerd with a specialty in inclusive language and storytelling and a big love for romance fiction. (Maybe I can help you with your writing! https://www.eliotwesteditorial.com/) Joy matters too 💖🌈
I wonder if that's true at the population level! I personally was educated at a Catholic school largely by rule-oriented old-fashioned "don't ask questions just do what I say" people, and it just ... didn't stick (re punctuation or anything else).

Look. I have very long thoughts and many of them are embedded. (I *have* read some stuff suggesting that neurodivergent people tend to punctuate & structure sentences differently, in various ways depending on the brain quirkiness[es] in play, and I think that's kinda neat to ponder in this vein.)
