    If course, ultimately language is about (efficient) communication. And as long as that is satisfied, grammar is secondary. Like if there is ambiguity, asking for clarification is very much not pedantic

    There is of course some nuance and leeway, but I still think it’s fairly obvious where the line goes

    But ultimately, yes, language is nuanced and constantly evolving, it’s very neat though

      See, I could understand you just find despite you writing “If course”, but if you try to say to me that is not a mistake simply because I could understand you, I cannot at all agree with your logic of what makes it the language “correct”.

        I never said it makes the language “correct”, more that language is fluid and there’s no need to correct people

        Unless a typo or spelling mistake is so common it becomes widely used, it’s fair to say it’s just a mistake
