The rule of thumb on the internet these days is that half the participants don't know much at all about proper language use, and the other half are cringing at the errors. It's best for your blood pressure to let those errors slide, but it's really hard not to judge someone for making the same errors that have been pointed out a million times.
Elle Cordova (previously at Neatorama) illustrates the struggle between a grammarian, who really cares about language and how it should be used, and an errorist, who superficially appears to wax eloquent but is making language errors left and right. You have to really pay attention to get all the humor out of this one, as the errorist touches on every pet peeve you can imagine. When yours shows up, you'll want to rewind and see how many others you can identify. If you can keep up will all the errors the first time through, you'll be impressed with Cordova's extensive knowledge of self-replicating language errors endemic to the internet. -via Everlasting Blort
I got a FB memory today reminding me that years ago I discovered -with horror- this. Point 1. About a published book and the author commenting about people having gotten "their's"Still uncorrected (and the page being in existence at all is a marvel) 13 years later.https://www.actsofgord.com/
(and yes, I know I used en dashes instead of em ones there. Just have trouble bringing myself to use Em's dashes without credit, and then get lost in referencing standards. Also the keyboard has the en dash on a key :)
