Are you missing commas? Don’t look further, feel free to take all redundant ones from my tweets. You will find them appearing from nowhere in conjunction with a space.

A genuine grammatical error is not some kind of moral mistake and definitely should not be policed in a rude way. At the end of the day making mistakes is totally fine and those who enjoy correcting others have deeper issues than a person who makes grammatical mistake...

I would rather say "that's not a mistake" (even if I thought it was) to a little language fascist who tries to correct others, than to go around correcting others though! Context matters! And of course all these rules are up for discussion and change whether we want it or not.

Not helpful at all! Mocking is always easier than explaining, particularly if you do not know yourself the reasons clearly. And when these criticisms come from people who can only speak a languge (often barely), "asshole" sounds right to me.
-
It's almost always monolinguals! You are so right!
-
Also I love how they think everybody knows that the comma splice is wrong (from birth? how?) when no other language has this BS feature. "Why do you think a Spanish-speaker (for example) knows about your assclown secret punctuation ritual, you Englishino? Grow up."

Hahaha... Yes!

LOL. Moreover, proper writing, literature, never follows strict grammatical rules.
-
Yeah, did you see that quote in the Wikipedia article I linked to? LMAO

I'm not sure I'd call it a grammatical error, exactly. It's a convention that main clauses can't be joined with a comma, but need a "stronger" punctuation mark (; : .). The comma doesn't actually *change* the grammar, causing an error.
-
Uh oh... I'm getting corrected on what I think is a mistake now LMAO
-
Eeek! Sorry! Didn’t mean to correct! I was rather intending to say that even the “comma splice” rule is mainly about convention, not grammatical correctness. Damn - I’m sorry for that!
-
Ha! It's OK!
