re: How did you learn how to write using (mostly) standardized English?

How did you learn grammar? Do you ever think about grammar when you write, or can you structure sentences correctly without the metacognition that focuses on the rules?
My writing improved during graduate school in the late 1970s, I was writing one or more lengthy papers every week for two years. Grammatical errors were simply not allowed, and since everything was done on a manual typewriter any mistake meant significant time retyping the page as whiteout was frowned upon. Guide books on grammar, writing, and APA formatting accompanied me at all times.
