I hardly ever make the correction myself and just let the correction comment stand. Especially on lemmy, where comments are never really deleted, it just seems weird to have a correction comment on the thread after its already been edited.

Otherwise, if they are being a prick, ill just be defiant. I don't really care who I offend.

If there were multiple glaring mistakes, which happens, I'll go back and clean things up.

I agree, it shouldn’t be used as a way to slam someone. Point it out if you’re in the middle of a useful response. I would consider this a form of error detection / error correction feedback, because maybe the original poster genuinely doesn’t know. Speaking for myself, I would wonder what the speaker hears in their head when they’re presented with both spellings.

But if we’re playing fast and loose with the rules, then we should also accept ‘luce’ as another alternative. The point here being, how far can we take it before everyone agrees that it’s no longer a reasonable alternative?

I’ve long considered that learning a second language is like learning to play music. So yeah, there’s the precision of classical, versus the freestyle of jazz.

But if you’re playing some vinyl on a turntable and asking others to listen to it while jumping around on the floor next to it, don’t be surprised if people seem distracted when the needle starts to jump around. Was that a glitch, or was it intentional?

Tangent time: around 25 years ago I was reading up on DNS (and BIND) and came across something that stuck with me. I might be paraphrasing, but it went something like “be strict in what you send, and flexible in what you accept”. The context had to do with acceptable DNS names being passed around, and a methodology to improve the odds of mutual success.

Shifting back to being more on topic: I wish I could speak and write at a level far better than I can now. When I hear certain speakers (typically from England) I simultaneously have a great appreciation for their language competence and a regret for my own competence. I do try to be better, although I do fail.

In the end, I’d like to be able to bring others along when I lift myself up.

I loosed the game 😔

You're saying we're led by the cool kids.

That's so fetch.

I mean, money works like that too. It's not like we value money because paper is rare, we just all collectively agreed to use it to make exchanges easier

Forsooth, verily, and widdershins

Life is better when you read everything in Meatwad's voice.

Exactly! Thank you for pointing it out, I'll fix it!
