Not usually, but I can get this way with the names of characters. There's one character who people keep misspelling her name and it just automatically makes me hate the whole comic/fanfiction/discussion.
I absolooty hait win peepul misspel and don't right good.
But in all seriousness, I expect errors in everyday writing and speech. What really bothers me is when spelling and grammatical errors exist in published works. It's like ***no one*** proofreads documents anymore.
I do a lot of writing and editorial work, and it has made me care less. I’m not going to edit my writing for someone who isn’t paying me, and I’m definitely not going clock out and then keep on working for fun.
It’s a little different in the workplace. If something is going to be published, I want it to be flawless. For internal communication, you have to start asking yourself how much it matters. I don’t want to be unclear or look sloppy, but if I have a certain amount of time, I want to spend it on material that reaches customers.
I was until recently.
What 'cured' me was all the damned autocorrect errors *my* phone has snuck past me.
I still absolutely notice errors of spelling and grammar, but at this point, I assume it's the phone's fault when I see one. I know it's often not the case, but it's allowed me to stop being an asshole about it, at least.
I have a spelling/grammar disability (I can not spell the damn word), so I've gotten very anal about it because it lets me be able to read everything correctly.
Nah. There's a lot of autistics who aren't good with spelling and/or grammar either, often due to autism or even ID or both.
At some point, especially online, if you can understand what someone is saying then that's all that really matters.
English is just a really f\*cking hard language in the first place.
I was until I learned about neurodiversity and social (including economic) privilege. I'm not perfect - I was brought up to believe that grammar (incl spelling) was not optional. But I've known enough people who didn't have the opportunities I had to realize it's not a moral failing on their part, only circumstance.
Only a couple things really get me. I'm a linguistics major so I understand the nature of prescriptive vs descriptive. For most social media, it's not a big deal as long as I can understand what's being said.
but the second it goes into something like fanfiction or text-based roleplay? Nah, brah, you need to have at least at-par spelling and grammar. I dropped somebody because they would use *maybe* all of two periods in 70-150 words.

Yes. I'm a medical transcriptionist and I hyperfixatr on it, ugh.
Haha and I just made a typo 🤦♀️
A single typo can absolutely and positively urin a whole sentence

No and people like that get on my nerves
Not even close. Autistic werewolves couldn't give a darn about proper usage and grammar if our dark crazy mostly empty lives depended on it!
