I'm glad to hear that. I can't tell you how many instructors, in middle school through college, told me "I don't count off for spelling or grammar; this isn't English class." I always wondered if my history teacher would have cared if I said the American Revolution happened 2500 years ago, since "this isn't math class."

	As far a punctuation is concerned, my fourth grade daughter is
required to write all of her assignments in complete sentences with correct
punctuation. In fact they are so strict that if she forgets to capitalize
properly or forgets her ending punctuation, often the answer is marked
incorrect regardless of the content (which might be taking the concept of
attention-to-detail at bit too far).
