a rule of writing on the internet
The maddest letters that are the most fixated on nitpicky grammatical issues are always the ones that contain the most embarrassing spelling/grammatical mistakes.
It’s almost like the universe whispers in their ears “Don’t worry. Just send the email about grammar without proofreading.”
Here are sample complaints I’ve gotten:
“You’re hilariously inaccurate ‘article’”
(complaint emails also love using quotation marks as a way to show disdain for a concept.)
“… if you’re going to wright for a living…”
“Do you even speak English.”
