When people attempt to make others feel that their skills are inadequate, it may just point out their own.
What even was the point of this response? Do you even know? Do you understand how comparing English to mathematics, especially on these forums, is silly for numerous reasons? Are you even self-aware enough to recognize that your entire post is one big straw man fallacy? Probably not, would be my guess.


PS: "Learnt" is indeed a word, by the way. I'm surprised you didn't know that since you so succinctly dissected the rest of their post with so much authority. I also particularly enjoy how you neutered your own nonsense "argument" by specifically pointing out that those are rules recognized and expected in formal writing when we're communicating in a very informal setting.
