Agreed. Purposeful ignorance of spelling and grammar is basically saying to the person you're typing to "I'm too lazy to learn simple concepts so you'll have to spend extra time trying to parse my sentences"

Ironically, you have omitted punctuation.

90% of the time I see grammar nazis doing their thing, it's never about protecting the "sanctity" of grammar - it's more about exerting control and attempting to enjoy the feeling of being right.

The other 10% of the time are from people that know its purpose is to be a vehicle for the communication of ideas, and will also make up statistics.

I love me some irony, and felt this comment train was more engaging than the post itself; so I'm contributing to its further development.

Yep, all good. Though in no way was I being a grammar Nazi, I was stating my opinion. I don't bother with perfect punctuation because it's not necessary to be instantly readable.

Also, my nephew told me that putting a full stop at the end of a sentence now is sometimes seen as a bit rude 😅 No idea why, but that's ok, it's still just as readable

Your nephew is a dolt.

Full stop.

We call him Vileda due to his mop-like appearance

“It’s not necessary to be instantly readable.”

Also: “I’m too lazy to learn simple concepts so you’ll have to spend extra time trying to parse my sentences”

Furthermore, you dropped some commas.
