Amen.  The best book on this topic is:

  https://www.lynnetruss.com/books/eats-shoots-leaves/

It's a pleasant and fun read, even apart from the grammar and
punctuation arguments.  And in my view, nobody should be granted a
man page commit bit unless and until they own a copy and have read
it from cover to cover.  Twice!

At the very least, borrow a copy from the library.
