Insisting that no one be corrected on mistakes is what's actually privileged.
And so is blatantly misusing the word pretentious, which makes it even more evident you are just some overly offended blowhard who doesn't know what the hell you're talking about.
You hurt the people around you by enabling shitty people and their bad behavior in such a manner. Grow the fuck up.
Wait, I don't get it. Are you saying making a grammar mistake makes someone a shitty person? And not correcting grammar enables people's bad behavior? Like being ungrammatical is morally wrong or something?
And let me Google the def of pretentious real quick:
Correcting someone's grammar online is absolutely a pretentious act. You've identified a grammatical mistake - which in this case isn't even a mistake but a difference in dialect - and you feel the need to call them out on it? What possible benefit does that have except to show off your allegedly superior grammar and thus demonstrate your superior intellect, talent, culture, or whatever aspect of life you think grammar should be assigned to?
Misspellings ≠ dialect
I'm saying you're a bad person for enabling a spoiled brat's entitled temper tantrum because you, too, have an ego the size of the Good Year Blimp and you feel your feathers get ruffled when you get called on minor trivial shit that shouldn't matter to you just as much as he does, which is why you are enabling him to his detriment.
And you're doubly a shitty person because you are blatantly and purposefully strawmanning me thinking it's going to help you win something. And you're wrong on that account, too.
I am not even the one who identified the grammatical mistake. @Default_Defect@midwest.social did.
You, just like the guy throwing a temper tantrum, both know nothing, and it's not just because of simple grammar.
It's because you don't want to accept it's socially unacceptable to throw a fucking temper tantrum like a child in a grocery store.
It's because you don't want to accept being willfully ignorant is wrong.
It's because you don't want to accept that in life, you are going to get criticized, have minor mistakes pointed out, etc. and this is not a bad thing, it is called being constructive and is a normal part of life.
You BADLY need to grow the fuck up. Seriously.
I like that you are winning this argument despite the downvotes by a majority of pretentious users.
Do better lemmy
