Not a prescriptivist but I do squirm about these things as a writer, who is likely to have their work edited by someone else I don't WANT somebody changing my em-dashes into hyphens, I don't WANT them changing "nauseated" into "nauseous", I don't WANT punctuation inside quoteshttps://twitter.com/Nymphomachy/status/1304188911233699840 …
