    Correct according to who? You? Lol

    Fortunately, you are not the arbiter of the English language.

      That’s what I was just saying to you, so I’m confused why you think that’s a rebuttal.

      You said things people write aren’t automatically “correct” without defining what correct means.

        You’ll be corrected by someone with enough education to believe they are correct. English speakers police the English language in a very unorganised way.

        There are no appeals. Accept that you were wrong or find a reputable style guide or dictionary that supports your position and tell the person who corrected you to get lost.

        New words happen, but if you can’t get the right spelling of “they’re” or “their”, “your”, “you’re” or “yaw”, “its” or “it’s”, etc or use a unique spelling of a word I can point out in a dictionary how you’re wrong

        If you mismatch brackets or do odd punctuation I can point out how it looks bad or reads wrong

        I’m not surprised that you’re confused

          You seem to be trying to be smug after you’ve communicated badly. Additionally, your understanding of how language works is not widely accepted.

            The fact that you don’t understand your argument is facile and easily undermined only highlights your lack of understanding and maturity.

            Your personal opinion doesn’t count as something being “widely accepted”.
