>>"If you select a piece of text you will see that two sizes of text will show up,"
I will see? NO !
Just if your selectionannodisplay is on, yes 😉
>>"It's only supposed to be 1/4"=1'-0", I didn't add the 1/2"=1'-0" to this text."
Okay, but..
>>"What I want is to have Autocad stop randomly adding unwanted annotative scales to my text and dimensions."
AutoCAD ist just a stupid computer programm, it can't acting random.
You need to find the trigger, what are your doing that ACAD add the annoscale?
>>"My conception of Annotative Scaling is that you set up one Dimension or Text style and it works for all
>>"drawing scales, instead of setting up a series of separate Text or Dimension Style for every drawing scale. Am I wrong?
???
If you like to have textsizes all the time in the the same size, independend of viewport scale factors,
you need to add all anno-scales you want to use in your Layout
If you have a file with only one line and one Text, and in
your Layout with three viewports you can see both objects 3x
You like to scale your view(port)s 1x 1/2", 1x 1/4", 1x 3/8",
the line displaying with three different length..
And if you want to have all 3x the Text in the same size visible,
you can set annotative=yes and add all three anno-scales to yout Text.
This way, the text appears threee times with height 0'-0 9/128" (for example).
Without annotation feature, the text appears in different height,
scaled by the viewport scalefactor - like the line.

I opened your file, saw 1/2" and 1/4" scales on your objects,
but scale 3/8" was the current anno-scale and AnnoAllVisible was ON.
If i see such a setting, my eyes rolling around and i ask me: Why?
{/short break}
! Your Layout was empty, would you please upload the original file?
I guess you deleted the layout content before upload?
but i like to see your viewport data.
