True, but is it pedantic? The same people that complain they can’t find a job are the ones that make huge grammar mistakes in their applications or résumés.
I wouldn’t hire someone who was too lazy to proofread over someone who wasn’t; would you? And then why should that rule not apply to your fellows on the internet?
Sometimes if you don’t point out people’s mistakes, you’re actually hurting their future selves
