You didn’t talk about which errors you think exist in those quotes on review, nor post mortem how they happened to find out if they were careless.

You seem entitled. I don’t know anything about you or how good your grammar knowledge is. Because you chose not to explain anything, for all I knew I would be chasing red herrings trying to find out what you thought was wrong.

I suspect you’re cargo culting Elliot. If he wrote a post like yours I’d put effort into analysing it because he has a ton of context behind his posts. I’d have extremely high confidence that he’s right because I think he understands grammar very well. You don’t have anything of the sort. For all I know you’re worse at grammar than I am.

I think that is extremely hostile and uncalled for. It seems to violate the rules on agreeability and civility FAQ - Critical Falliblism

You didn’t even try to engage with the examples anonymous raised, so I don’t think you can reasonably say “for all I knew I would be chasing red herrings trying to find out what you thought was wrong.” You didn’t make any reasonable effort to try to know what the issues were. You could have tried examining one example, and discussing whether there was an issue there to a conclusion, and then proceeded from there. But you were apparently disinterested in such a discussion.
