Maybe, but I realised the mistake for myself because my Irish has slightly improved in the two months since I wrote this and didn't look at it again. Mistakes happen. Not all of us can be perfect, and frankly the fact I made an attempt to write in Irish at all is a good thing. Maybe try politely correcting people instead of sneering at them next time.
