So true! There is a time and place to Write Well, Write Correctly. :-) But those situations are becoming more rare.

    I want my students to, at least, be aware of those little things even if they don't subscribe.

The thinking that "you need to know the rules, and break them with intent and considered purpose."

... like my refusal to put anything inside quotation marks that are not in the original quote. Example:

"Yes, I feel similarly" he said.

as opposed to

"Yes, I feel similarly," he said.
