Relying on Schrödinger's typo to dismiss your own mistake and expecting people to swallow that excuse isn't much of a clever move either.

But that's ok, proficiency in language is not that important anyway.
You do you.

Exactly my point. Proficiency in language isn’t that important and pointing out minor mistakes knowing full well you understood what was intended is a combative and pedantic attitude. It serves no purpose other than to elevate yourself and try to make others feel dumber.

The language did its job in portraying information. Not everything needs to be made by an english PHD. Especially not in the world of internet comments.
