    True, but is it pedantic? The same people that complain they can’t find a job are the ones that make huge grammar mistakes in their applications or résumés.

    I wouldn’t hire someone who was too lazy to proofread over someone who wasn’t; would you? And then why should that rule not apply to your fellows on the internet?

    Sometimes if you don’t point out people’s mistakes, you’re actually hurting their future selves

    I think everyone nowadays is a bit too accepting of other people’s faults to try to seem a bit more morally superior themselves, without realising that they’re actually being abusive in the long term

    Anyway, I’m not actually serious here, I just wondered who would actually read this far

      Please remember that everyone here isn’t a native English speaker and neither does everyone use English in professional writing.
