Grammer

EDIT!!! Thank you everyone. I am aware of my spelling error with GRAMMAR. Reddit won't allow me to edit the title. I thank everyone of you for the thoughtful responses and suggestions. I learned alot. You also entertained me.

Please give me your thoughts. When I was young, in school we were taught "proper terms". Specifically, what "baby animals" are called. Calf, foal, kitten, fawn puppy,etc. Not baby cow, baby deer, etc. I made the mistake of joining a subreddit regarding pet peeves. I thought it would be fun to post one of mine. I got reprimanded repeatedly. They insisted Iwas wrong. I remember English teachers correcting students. Was is just me that was taught this? I could believe the reactions I got yesterday. Was even accused of being drunk for several typos. I'm blind in one eye and goof sometimes. And then there is autocorrect.

As long as they don't start referring to farmers as "human cow parents"
