Yeah, we know
Correct punctuation is equally important.
Nuh uh. You can also use incorrect punctuation,
Every punctuation is correct, just not always placed correctly.
,()?,…
So I guess I can just like put all the punctuation at the beginning of a comment or whatever segment of text on any medium It looks like it takes a bit too much effort but I suppose it can protect me from scrutiny
What’s like putting?
It means putting something in a likely way (?)
That’s like a good answer.
There was an author who did that for the second edition of his book. First edition had no punctuation so the second edition he added a few pages of punctuation at the end for complainers. He said they could put them where they wanted to.

Do you notice people misunderstanding you? That’s how you’d know.
If you are not getting feedback from your readers, then fair enough, you’ll never know; but in that case, how do you even know anyone is reading your writing?
I tend to think my grammar its like a tree falling in the woods, the few squirrels that notice it can probably find another tree to harass.
Ironically, I’ve found that in many cases, frequently I find perfectly correct grammar to be more a hindrance to communication than a boon. In certain cases, grammatically wrong leads to fewer misunderstandings.
I might have terrible grammar and everyone knows it except for me Do you notice people misunderstanding you? That’s how you’d know.
The case where people know about a grammar issue but still understand the writer is a counterexample to your claim.
As someone who was raised Rural and will drop a lot of dialect into speech, I’ve seen how it colours the response and taints the message. I’ve seen where people spot a bad habit and just let it go. People know.
The more one learns about structure and form, the more one notices these gaffes; and not only does it change how the message was received, but it can also be one-sided. For instance: people who say “some emails” don’t realise how discordant it sounds to people who don’t say “some mails”. People who say “some email” I think aren’t generally noticed by people who say “the mails”.
What you do with what you notice? That’s on you. But in a world where first impressions are actually a thing, it’ll be noticed.
Just post online more often. People will point at your mistakes
Peepol we’ll point at ur mis 🍖.
I’m doing my part!
My fear when talking in my second language.
