OK, I came across a post venting about grammar nazis. She hates it when someone ignores the content of what she said, zeroes in on one little typo, and shames her for it. Well, I don't blame her. That's the same as when people find they can't argue with the logic in something I said, but they want to put me down some other way, and they come at me with, "Yeah? Well, you're fat." It's rude to go around nitpicking people's grammar, especially in a way that ridicules them.

Unfortunately, there's a problem here.

I answered, "I see both sides." I then went on to explain exactly what I said above, but added, "On the other hand, I learned the difference between 'there' and 'their' in second grade, and it confuses me when adults don't know which one to use." This met with a sentiment full of profanity, but devoid of punctuation and capital letters, while someone told me, "get over it" and "sounds like a personal problem." This was my first introduction to the group, so I left it.

Here I address the general "you," not any specific person. If you have a learning disability or a comprehension disorder, I understand. If English is not your first language, I understand. If your typing skills are low, I definitely understand. If you are using technology that autocorrects you to death, I understand. However, if the only reason you don't know "to" from "too" is that while the teacher was explaining it, you were busy carving your name in your desk and texting your friends about how you couldn't wait to get out of this lame class and party, then I'm not the one with the "personal problem" who needs to "get over it." I won't go around correcting your grammar, but when someone else does, it isn't my fault if it makes you "feel stupid."

My opinion only. Yours may differ. You have that right, same as I do.
