Are you missing commas? Don’t look further, feel free to take all redundant ones from my tweets. You will find them appearing from nowhere in conjunction with a space.

Hahaha... Yes!

LOL. Moreover, proper writing, literature, never follows strict grammatical rules.
-
Yeah, did you see that quote in the Wikipedia article I linked to? LMAO
-
I've seen it now.

This!!
Don’t mind me, just taking notes for when I have to deal with groundless purists. I wish scientific writing could stop following ‘grammatical aesthetics’. I have enough on my plate adjusting from American English (
) to British English.

TBF in academia I find there are two groups of people. Those who want the most assclownish long & convoluted words and those who go full Anglo-Saxon minimal & want only the shortest most relaxing on working memory prose. Pick your poison as both have their problems when policed.

I just love how you describe them!You have a fun way with words!
I think I tend to relate more with the former though.
Duly noted! I’ll see how it goes this fall. 
-
I think these ways may correlate to different approaches, say philosophical stances vs scientific ones.
-
But, ofc, not always.

I’m a monolingual English speaker and I use commas incorrectly a fair amount of the time too. Any time I write anything I have to go back and pull a bunch of extra ones out. That professor was being ridiculous.
-
I agree but to assume I had had any English language training before university is wrong here. I had seriously very bare bones English writing skills compared to everybody else pretty much. And of course I'm disadvantaged severely because of it.
-
Understood. I’m sorry you were treated that way.

It's OK my parents are quite eccentric and were amused I taught myself to read English. So after I did that around 5 years of age they kind of left me to my own devices. Great since I read voraciously but not perfect because I didn't write in any formal setting.
