      It highlights lack of care, thought, or capability, thus reducing the impact of the overall message. It matters.

        Yes, it’s a casual comment, a casual thought written casually. All of your assumptions here don’t apply. Why not spend time having a conversation rather than bringing it to a screeching halt enforcing made up rules? The only time I think criticizing grammar is warranted is if you’re genuinely confused about what they’re trying to say, and you can definitely be more polite when doing it.

        Is that not how language actually works? How is telling people to follow made up rules not prescriptivism?
