I can live with honest mistakes and even being unaware of the proper form. The internet is changing the language, which is healthy in the end, but hurts while it's happening.
I just wish so many people would stop blaming "auto correct" on whatever device they say they're posting from. Re-read your words or take the blame for them. Is there an "auto send" function on your device which prevents you from looking back at what you've typed? If so, turn it off or stop using that device.
My apologies for such an extended rant. I don't mean to sound insistent. It's just advice.
