Jokes on you, my coworker still obsessively uses % args syntax.

I can understand that, to a point. Not the so much the obsessive part, but I sometimes fall back to % formatting too since that uses the formatting syntax I'm familiar with from C and C++. The syntax used in f-strings and .format is probably better, but requires re-learning.
Please tell me you correct them in the code reviews?

Everytime someone uses %args inappropriately a baby seal dies.
