Yes, and yes.
<highjack>Do you want to be using a comma in that sentence?

I was taught that commas are used in lists of 3 or more.</highjack>

"grammarians" and "oughtn't"??? are those actually real words??
You didn't know "grammarian" was a real word? "Oughtn't", on the other hand, is rarely used, much like "shan't".

I've been counting steps for years, and I could remember them until I hit college...too many brain cells lost.

I do it and then realize later (like when I'm at 50 or 80 or somesuch) that I'm doing it - it doesn't bother me, I don't have to go back and re-do them if I mess up or anything like that, just something I've always done. I find I do it more when I'm busy, I think it's a small stress reliever in ways, time for my brain to forget about everything and focus on just one thing, even for a brief second.

I'm a bit weird about a few things like that, for ex: I always have to take the same lanes when driving my usual routes, and switch lanes at regular points on my drive home (the ones that move faster) - it feels "weird" if I'm in the "wrong" lane.

I thought you were supposed to start a sentence with a capital letter.
