    90% of the time I see grammar nazis doing their thing, it’s never about protecting the “sanctity” of grammar - it’s more about exerting control and attempting to enjoy the feeling of being right.

    The other 10% of the time are from people that know its purpose is to be a vehicle for the communication of ideas, and will also make up statistics.

    I love me some irony, and felt this comment train was more engaging than the post itself; so I’m contributing to its further development.

      Yep, all good. Though in no way was I being a grammar Nazi, I was stating my opinion. I don’t bother with perfect punctuation because it’s not necessary to be instantly readable.

      Also, my nephew told me that putting a full stop at the end of a sentence now is sometimes seen as a bit rude 😅 No idea why, but that’s ok, it’s still just as readable
