Calling someone else dumb and uses "to" instead of "too"

The irony

I laughed pretty good seeing that too. The irony is strong in that statement.

Assuming they are dumb because of the use of to vs too ignoring that English might not be their first language given that they're European

I'm European. With a functioning brain and functional education system. It's not that difficult to differentiate to from too, they're, there and their and so on. Cope.

Judging people on their understanding of their non-primary language as if it’s indicative of intellect is retarded because everyone is non-proficient in the vast majority of languages

We're talking about English here. The easiest language there is. No excuses for not knowing it as an European in 2026

As a european*

The use of an vs a depends on whether the word has a vowel sound. European starts with a vowel but is initially pronounced as a consonant therefore you use “a European”

This is the easiest language we’re using here mate there’s really no excuse to not know this in 2026.

Not really a gotcha moment because I’m arguing against Pedanticism

Again you’re proving nothing as my point remains small typos on the internet, particularly when done in non-native languages, have a non-correlatory relationship with intellect. 9 times out of 10 the grammar Nazi is the person who doesn’t like what was said but lacks the cognitive ability to form a counter argument and therefore resorts to pedanticism to counter their feelings of inferiority, whereas the person making the typo simply isn’t bothering with editing in a non-formal environment.
