If you type “prolly” rather than “probably”, I am so judging you. #grammarlivesmatter
And yes, if your punctuation is off, I’m judging you.
And YES, if you point out I’ve made an error, I’ll usually own it. Many years ago, I used to type “upmost”, not realizing the word is actually “utmost”. I was corrected, and have long since updated my mental inventory of words.
And don’t think ‘judge’ is necessarily positive nor negative. We all have our own diction style. In a voiceless medium, we get creative with prose to express ourselves. We are all, after all, part of a generation that invented internet memes and shorthands as a method to Darmok; to express ourselves in a few words or even an image.
Raise your hand if you’ve said “Bee Arrr Bee” out loud. My hand is up.
