I gotta say it’s nice to see a reduction in “you have a typo” rebuttals over the years, buddy that you replied to notwithstanding. Most of the ones I can think of that I’ve seen recently are more “fyi the saying uses these other words that sound similar” rather than “omg you made a spelling/grammar mistake, therefore your argument is invalid”.
I remember the grammar nazi years at Reddit, was not fun. Being pedantic for pedantic’s sake is no different than being ad hominem. People who have no argument attack the arguer instead.
