Secrets are a hundred words if that. If you fuck that up grammatically while complaining about other people's grammar and/or spelling, then I'm not going to be interested in reading your work.


That's fine; everyone has their own standards.

Of course it's hypocritical. I'm bewildered how you can't see that it is.

Hypocritical would be if the OP had loads of SPAG-error ridden fanfic while complaining about SPAG errors in others' fanfic.

You're making the exact mistake you're complaining about. If it's important enough to complain about, then it's important enough to take care in your own presentation, especially one that's only a couple of sentences long.

? Why does wanting relatively error-free fictional works mean one must submit even emails and secrets to the same process? Are you familiar with the typical editing process for a fictional work? It's literally not possible to do for writing that's going out in real-time communication. You can't get betas and proofreaders, and let messages mellow for weeks, and hold a real-time conversation.

What you're suggesting is not a realistic possibility.

Because not to do so makes you look like an idiot.

I don't think it's idiotic to not want to submit emails and secrets to an editor and go through the same revision process for those as what one would go through for a piece of fiction.

To you. It doesn't to me.

And, y'know, there's the collorary to Murphy's Law that says any time you bitch about grammar or spelling, your post will have at least one spelling error.
