        I have read punctuation free text and it never bothered me it’s perfectly readable all of those examples you gave are intentionally ambiguous sentences if a sentence is ambiguous without punctuation it’s poorly written

          Well, you used “us” and “us” close to one another, and one of them referred to the United States and the other was a pronoun. It took several reads to make sure I rewrote it correctly in my other comment. I am pretty sure you’re not being considerate about how “unambiguous” your sentences are without capitalisation & punctuation, and even if they were, they take significantly longer to read. As a person who became proficient in English as their second language, I am baffled by how frequently natives botch their national heritage.
