do you believe that writing well = trust worthy? i find people trust what i say more when i type less formally, people are distrustful of intelligent people and making mistakes puts them at ease, i find that its only those who are very much bellow average that cling on to the stuff op pointed out, is primary school level shit, its not needed but some people will cling on to it because to them its an achievement where as iv learned the rule book, thought about the rules and then disregarded the unneeded rules at the end of the day most of it is unneeded bullshit that now only exists so stupid can people feel smart when they notice someone not following the pointless rules that they hold in high regarded because that is their intellectual peak, just imagine a debate between a few great philosophers, do you think they are going to give a flying fuck about the punctuation used when trying to elucidate some abstract conceptualization relating to human nature, do you think they sat around the acropolis taking the piss out of the punctuation used? or do you think that they approached the issue like real philosophers and argue in good faith, having some intellectual honesty rather just looking for the easiest way to attack an argument
