    Lol imagine judging others’ competency from insignificant grammatical nitpicks that you’re not even correct about… ironic!

      The person I am replying to has a consistent history of snobbish prescriptivism and disrespect for anyone who doesn’t follow what they think is the correct version of the rules of life.

        I’ve seen this attitude before, especially with how things are pronounced, like saying “Ess Cue Ell” instead of “Sequel” means that you don’t really know SQL. Or saying “Enn Jinx” instead of “Engine X” means you don’t have real experience with Nginx. It’s just nonsense.
