I feel like I'm walking into a trap here but:
This pedant is using an adjective as an adverb.
right is informal american english for "correctly". i don't give a shit about prescriptive rules of grammar, they're all bullshit. every last rule was created by some holier-than-thou pedant. i'm only interested in descriptive rules, i.e. grice's maxims (the thing that finally made me understand how to get over my autism)
What do you mean get over your autism? You're still autistic, you may have gained social skills or something similar, but you're still autistic.
also idgaf how incorrect my grammar and spellings are as long as it's readable
also I use tone indicators kinda like HTML tags because I find they help me more that way, so they might help someone else more that way.
I do not care if you use formal, informal, american, canadian, australian, british, or a different english than any of those, as long as what you're saying is comprehensible
