    I hate pedants not just for this, but because pedantry is nearly always intended to belittle and embarrass.https://twitter.com/AlexandraErin/status/1164929683772887044 …

    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.

        Come on, it's funny that Trump spelled "Powell" wrong on his first psychotic Powell/Xi tweet, then deleted it and reposted it with correct spelling.

        About 8 years ago I realized this and stopped. Yes, I used to be *that guy*. Sorry, Internet.

        I do wish @AlexandraErin had used better grammar, while belittling a whole section of society.

        Sorry - I fight it all the time in my head, but can't remember a time when I've actually posted a correction. I like spelling. 😳

        I often spell things incorrectly. I'm dyslexic and I have rotten keyboard skills. I look at Tweets later and think that everyone must think I'm not too bright. So there's no need for anyone to tell me I'm not too bright. I think they think that all by myself.

        As a very pedantic person, I agree with you and I don’t think pedantry should be used this way

        I'm not a pedant, I'm just picky, there's a difference. 😁
