attempting to placate the grammar police.
Everyone knows the difference between a dropped word, a typo like hte for the, etc. and using words incorrectly that the writer clearly thinks are correct - misuse of homonyms being among the most common. That’s just about - dare I say it - a failure of education, and the people who react to correction with snarls, insults and threats of violence reveal how invested they are in remaining ignorant.
For my part, if I wrote that 3 + 2 = 32, I would be grateful if someone informed me, no, it’s 5.
Well, that happens sometimes. Even if I had caught it after it posted, I wouldn’t have been able to go back and change it.
btw - I read it several times after your comment before I realized the ‘was’ was missing. The mind fills in the blanks.
