I think the way things are now is an improvement over people policing language, and I say that as someone who used to rant about grammar issues.

However I still get twitchy when someone says "cannon" when they mean "canon." That one thing just gets to me.

If misspelling a word changes the meaning of the sentence, then yes, that's an issue. "An official statement about what is considered part of a story" vs "something you fire off a pirate ship" is quite a big and confusing difference.

But sometimes people call out mistakes just to show off that *they* know better than to make the same mistake. And it's often done as a petty way to not actually pay attention to what someone else is trying to say.

Yeah I’ll take bad grammar or slang over the haughty as fuck and condescending attitudes people had about grammar back then. And let’s be real, a lot of people who howled and cried about grammar didn’t actually wanted to educate people on proper form, they just wanted to feel superior.
