This is a sentence worded nothing like the one I'm editing, but it's the same style:

New South Wales and Victoria are whatever. both are blah blah.

In the actual sentence I wrote, the teacher either circled my first full stop, or put a comma (I can't tell). She also capitalised B for Both (which I forgot to do).

Do you think she circled my full stop to show me why she capitalised the B - or - should my full stop be a comma, and should Both be capitalised after a comma?

Random, I know. I can't ask her because this essay is due the first day back at school.

Both should not be capitalised after a comma lol
I'm pretty sure she was signifying it was a new sentence by circling the full stop, and hence you needed to capitalise the first word of that sentence, Both.

Thank you Nail.

I've been agonising because the mark was curved like a comma, but wasn't a full circle. I was thinking to myself, I'm pretty sure both isn't a pronoun, lol.

Pretty sure she would have circled the full stop to show that the B was supposed to be capitalised. Plus, putting a comma in that sentence isn't quite fitting and the B shouldn't have to be capitalised after it. :)

You're not alone. I had grand plans for this break, but I've accomplished the bare minimum.

I've spent most of today trying to bring my margins into alignment in word, because they've been printing off balance. Omg, I've wasted so much ink :(

That's what I usually do as well lol

3 paragraphs is more sophisticated anyways
