Unfortunately I am, and I got my education from kindengarten to university in Chinese language. I can say for sure that school don't teach such rule. Maybe there is such rule, but that's not what we care when we read or write. I guess such rule, if it does exist, only exists in professions of journalist or publication.
To be honest, we really don't care about it.
Would you please cite some rules? I am quite interested in them.
