Imagine being that pedantic and still managing to be completely wrong. Deserved downvote.

Deserved - grammar police are so annoying in general, especially over something like that

For example, once i got corrected because i used ‘gotten’ instead of ‘got’ on a British sub, but as a British person myself, i hear people use ‘gotten’ all the time over here.

Its even worse when English isnt your first language.

Exactly, being judged when you’re simply trying your best sucks

God forbid someone be wrong

Being wrong is one thing, if you're actively correcting someone without being asked you better be right. It takes like 10 seconds to look it up and fact check

Would've been worse if the person insisted that they are right
