    Yes. I made an error. And yet, you understood what I meant. Weird.

      I mean, it’s like grade 3 level English. People can tell what you meant but that’s because it’s so common that so many people make such simple mistakes. Educate yourself ffs.

        It doesn’t matter how common the written error is, because the ambiguity is omnipresent in speech and we sort it out every day of our lives, so it will always be easy as fuck.

        FYI, both of you are overacting. It’s weird to react to the correction so seriously, but equally weird for you to get so offended by the error. Both of you be better.
