Syntax is something you become used to in a few hours. But it's not what's the most important and will make your time more efficient in the end.

2000 years ago, they didn't have spaces or punctuation in writing. We could try dropping them again, and people would adjust after a few hours, but that doesn't mean that the spaces and punctuation don't provide value.

Maybe you do. I don't. Syntax is something that has a substantial impact on how I think and work. Presentation overall matters immensely.
