Thanks, that was really necessary and greatly added to the conversation.

this is what I feel too. It's framed as helpful, but it is really unnecessary and often unwanted.
Personally I think calling out smug pedantry is useful, but that's just my opinion.
I didn’t read it as smug, in that case they would’ve provided the spelling correction without the explanation (reddit-style). Here I feel like they’re just being friendly to people for whom English is a second language.
I do appreciate your explanation, it is clear enough to make Admiral Cloudberg proud : ). (if you don’t get the reference, check out her Medium articles, they’re fantastic!)
