Anywho, the whole thing of offering corrections....it's all in how it's done.
If I'm a dick about it or or seem like I'm trying to look smart or put others down over innocent mistakes, it's called grammar copping or being a grammar nazi. Who has time? We're typing on tiny phone keyboards here.
If it's presented as just for fun, or "for anyone who may happen to care", or as "nocop" (mere word info without judgment or sternness) then the intelligent people who frequent this site are normally very positive, open, and keen to learn fun new facts about their favorite language.
I usually don't edit email or message board text I write, so there are errors in my stuff on here as well. So what? :)
Actually, the subtly forced use of "they" with a singular antecedent weakens mental capacity. The mind can handle some contradictions, but not one that is used so frequently. It is also collectivist, taking an individual and dissolving him into a group plurality.
Ignorant and unstructured grammar leads to ignorant and unstructured thought, and the elitists know it. They are more sophisticated Stalinists.
It derails the conversation. I cannot count the times a interesting comment or post goes off topic and is sabotaged. It drives me crazy. And disinformation trolls are really good at doing so. So stay on topic don't get distracted. Says guy who gets sidelined so easily. 🤔
Could you edit that? I think you may be missing a comma after enemy and the word "is" at the end
Semicolon; but these are minor details. :)

@CQVFEFE,
I knew you were my favorite for a reason.
Cheers, Rooks!

Same here. You get in a rush and sometimes best case is you make sure the misspellings don't change the meaning.
All good fren.

Did you prefer he move "not" to before the second the?

Just having fun while asking for clarification. Sentence makes no sense.

I think you meant, "you can infer to that which I am thinking...probably?"
😉 j/k, I couldn't resist, you left it wide open.

Lighten up PepeSee, it will be OK. Think it through. If I did not understand what was meant how could I have offered a suggested fix?
Also, I guess you have not really seen my posts. Sometimes I wonder if I'm being coherent, let alone gramering correctly.
