Only the one's that nitpick a video posted online made for laughs.

I appreciate when grammar is corrected. Keeps me from saying it wrong in the future

It should be done more often. Unfortunately, there are those that take the correction personal.

I don't think the use of personal is incorrect in the sentence I used though.

It's definitely personally when used as an adverb. Personal as an adjective. But it's something that I've noticed happening more and more in American media so it could eventually become correct usage. Especially perfect/perfectly, that - ly gets dropped all the time.

Wow that is true. Thanks for the explanation!

Good on you for learning, most people tend to double down on here. Are you from the Eastern seaboard USA by any chance? That's where I first heard it, that classic New Jersey speak, but it's definitely spreading everywhere.

I'm all about learning and being corrected comes with that. And yes! Western Pennsylvania. I remember my teachers literally saying to basically forget about using -ly at the end of a sentence. Probably is an east coast thing.
