these go to 11.

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.”
