    I think it’s mostly that particularly poor common grammar drives me nuts. Like, there’s no excuse to not know the difference between you’re and your. Once could be a mistake or a typo, but if it’s a pattern of behavior you’re just not trying. Get your shit together. :)

      I definitely judge people on grammar and spelling. If you can’t be bothered to learn your native language, then I can’t be bothered to decode your shitty writing.

          Mistakes like “you’re” vs “your” are generally not made by people learning English as a second language unless they’ve only learned by speaking (in which case, I’d expect all their spelling to be a mess given that English is a mess). Same with “could of” instead of “could’ve”.
