    I don't trust the motives or judgment of anyone who tries to correct spelling on Twitter. They either haven't thought through what they're doing (poor judgment) or they have and are doing it anyway (poor motives). Pedantry is usually just a fancy way of being wrong.

        Seems to me that people focus on minutia instead of ideas because it's so much easier. So we end up spinning wheels focused on the unimportant things. Also a lack of grace and understanding for others--that's a big part of it. No one is perfect.

        Linguistic pedantry can also be just a way of enforcing class and other privileges, often from an internalized/aspirational drive to join the elite, by imputing real meaning to what are in fact just arbitrary signifiers of membership in that group, same as clothing choices, etc.

        If it's a little thing, treat it like a fart: politely ignore it. Everyone does it. Move along. But if someone is saying they're better than others but can't spell for shit? Hell yeah, I'm going to point that out. For comedy, there's "punching up". Works for spelling, too.

        Sometimes they're just funny. Also if it's an official account strewn with errors which point to a lack of professionalism (see Donald J Trump).
