I actually really still resent being told that "People" like this and "People" enjoy reading that and "People" are put off and alienated by the other thing Just straight up telling me I don't count as "People"

With you there.

I was told to stop writing the way you did by my undergrad thesis supervisor. Just told her "no" and kept going. I have a degree now so clearly I was correct, and thus, by proxy, so are you.

It wasn't until I was teaching and directing I understood the whole "learn the rules so you understand WHEN to break them." Because if you don't understand why something is "the right way" you won't understand the hazards of attempting "the wrong way."
-
But once you understand the "proper" method, that's when breaking the rules can be much more effective. You don't start with 'Ulysses' or 'The Sound and The Fury' as your first project. You don't paint Guernica on your first canvas.

As somebody with pretty bad ADHD I have a few quirks like uptalk question marks on sentences that aren't actually questions but by and large my writing is fairly bound to standard rules. (I do wish I could bracket phrases for clarity but I worry nobody would get it)
-
Like sometimes you're writing a sentence and it's phrased like you want but you worry people will break words out of a phrase and misread? And I wish in those cases I could [do this around the phrase], {or this}, and people would just know that I wanted those words read together.

I feel like this isn't to do with ADHD — the first one just represents informal conventions for modern text communication, and the second represents the formal style Which yeah people prefer the first in most situations The second is artificial But artificiality has its uses
-
So having to write in formal ways is something we all need to put up with but few of us really love Which makes this feel a bit like massive Internet Self-Diagnosis Bait
