      oof that’s certainly a way to react to being wrong and having someone provide a friendly correction, they didn’t call you a moron or anything

        It’s almost like there’s people who don’t care about minor grammatic issues and are annoyed by people who think something hastily typed on a phone needs to be ready for publication.

          Yeah, gonna go out on a limb and say that you typing hastily isn’t the reason you typed out “could of”. Dunno, maybe it’s how you responded to being corrected.

        Neither is going around correcting minor grammatical issues. It’s cute that you think that correcting something hastily typed on a cell phone needs to be corrected for grammar. You must have a rich and fulfilling life to go around grading comments on a internet forum.

                They must be having a really bad day. Or they have some trauma from an old English teacher.

                Politely correcting spelling and grammar is like telling someone they spilled ketchup on their shirt.

                I didn’t take it personally. Which is why I think you suck so hard. You would do that to anyone. I know that. It’s why you suck. That’s the whole point I just made. People need to tell you to fuck off more. You haven’t heard it enough.

                  You did take it personally, but its okay. Sometimes people make mistakes and you need to learn to be okay with receiving the help you clearly need.

                    I need tons of help. Just none of it happens to be in grammar on a web forum. None of the help any person that ever lived needs that.
