It makes sense to study such an effect on the more widely accepted rules though, especially if the effect hasn't been well studied before. It makes it easier to find participants, for one thing.

Also, not sure if you used "myriad [(not) of]" referring to style-guide "rules" for entertainment purposes but I appreciated it, nonetheless.

Oh, I agree 100%. This is actually more interesting to me than it would be if it were about the classroom rules, because a stress response to the classroom rules could be attributable to residual stress from being graded on them. This is a purer result because most people don't have to be penalized for mixing up "a/an", they already have it sorted before school.
