You know the types who have to post that they’ve spotted an error, because they apparently have an innate need to do so.
E.g
OP: My mum is out of hospital, thanks everyone for the lovely wishes. She’s feeling quiet shaky but she’d love visitors if anyone’s free.
GT: Oh, I can’t let that QUITE slide by me, you know what I’m like. (Ignores previous posts of well wishing and offers of help completely in their crusade)
I have a cracked screen and small phone, as well as a disregard at times for editing when the meaning’s there. I’m not sending work emails with grocer’s apostrophes, but posting something light on fb I’m less fussed.
Invariably the GT doesn’t have an exceptional grasp of grammar themselves- they know you’re/ your but they wouldn’t pass a yr 6 SPAG test or explain a reflexive pronoun without google.
I don’t get it at all, I have the ability to be polite to people even if they have genuine difficulties with spelling and writing. I don’t get any satisfaction off point scoring typos, isn’t it just twattish behaviour? I’ve even seen horrible responses to vulnerable people on local groups on occasion. Between friends, especially when they’ve asked you to stop, it seems a recipe for being unfriended and disliked by people quickly and easily. Like saying ‘your hair looks shit today’ or something...
