    I agree with this. Correcting one’s grammatical error is fine. However, additionally, correcting one’s grammatical error as a means to disregard the content of the comment in an argument and/or deem their opinion or perspective false because of said error? Not fine and asinine.

      I hardly ever make the correction myself and just let the correction comment stand. Especially on lemmy, where comments are never really deleted, it just seems weird to have a correction comment on the thread after its already been edited.

      Otherwise, if they are being a prick, ill just be defiant. I don’t really care who I offend.

      If there were multiple glaring mistakes, which happens, I’ll go back and clean things up.
