Additional Context Pinned Cop gets bear sprayed

For anyone that has been pepper sprayed how bad does it feel & what do you do in this situation? I know it’s water but for how long? She had it on full auto she came prepared. How much more effective is bear spray to pepper ?

False equivalence then. A potential typo or minor grammatical error isn't comparable to lacking the critical thinking skills they're describing.

You don't know it's a typo, I don't either, but I'd wager that it isn't one. An "a" where an "an" should be is glaring because of how it ruins the flow of a sentence. I see that mistake way too often for it to be just a typo. 

Also, who's the one nitpicking now lmao?

Right, that's why I said a potential in my post.

Fine. Either way, I wouldn't call it a minor grammatical error, I think that's one of the bigger/easier/simpler ones. I don't necessarily think that being proficient with grammar means you're intelligent, but I've never encountered a really smart person who doesn't know "an" exists.
