    Try leaving that first sentence out in the future, so you don’t immediately come across as a smug asshole not worth engaging with.

      Interesting. I offer to explain how grammar works. You decide to berate and insult me and I’m the “smug asshole”? Hm.

      Know what I like the most? The block feature. It allows me the opportunity to have more interesting conversations with more educated, open-minded people. Wheat from chaff, as it were.

        Language, as well as grammar, should be looked at as a living document. It’s always changing, growing, evolving as society does the same.

        And yes, when your first response to someone has to do with grammar, and not to do with what they said to you, you’re saying “Actually, what you meant to say…” and that’s where the smug asshole hangs out. (Ironic, I know.)

        They did not ask for a grammar lesson, nor was one warranted. Come down off your high horse.

          They also misrepresented what I wrote, so yeah - I had an attitude about my response but of course you’ll ignore that to attack from another side.

          Block now on. Adios.
