I’d never thought of ‘punctuation’ and ‘punctuality’ being so similar and yet so different in meaning 🤔
Interesting

It’s like this
I’m hungry!
Let’s eat, Grandma.
Or
I’m hungry,
Let’s eat Grandma.

Nice one, and illustrates the point well!
Not much of a pedant myself as long as the meaning is clear.
