If you see someone you support try to spread a message but their presentation is disheveled, do you just pretend you didn’t see anything and let them embarrass themselves? Try to see past your anger. I’m not speaking with anger to you right now.
Because I’ve never DMed anyone here, and a comment is not as embarrassing as a title… I was expecting an “Ok, fixed, thx”, and that would have been the end of it, as has happened in other threads. Instead we’re getting this public trial that’s awkward for everyone.
Hmm, there’s a difference between a simple misspellign and using the wrong word. Generally, a mispeling doesn’t lead to confusion, the intended meaning is still clear because there’s no collision with the meaning of another word.
They’re also peeps who are bothered by misuse of similar sound pronouns. E.g. using he instead of she really do bother some people. You might even be one of them!
Also it’s quite the fun fact. Weirdly effects also can mean personal possession.
Why be pointlessly pedantic?
Because language is communication, and improperly used language is bad communication, so it’s not pointless.
People misspell shit on this site all the time.
Do you call them out equally?
I do, yes. But not to “call them out”, but to help them correct and improve. There was no malice in my correction.
Just a complete side-stepping of OP’s actual message to nitpick about one word.
Thanks for the support this month.

I think it’s more embarrassing to miss an opportunity to spread support in favor of correcting someone publicly.
It’s possible to do both, but you and others here chose not to.
If your goal is to reduce embarrassment why not DM me? Multiple people saw your comment.

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
You don’t particularly like being called out publicly, do you?

Do you really think people are confused about what the post means?
Really?

Respecting people’s personal choice for pronouns is in a bit of a different category than a misspelled word.
Is joke. I tried to be absurd for comedic effect.
Transphobes routinely cry about how mean people are to them when they misgender others. Just a heads up since I don’t think you are in that camp.
The joke in my head was about misgendering a transphobe/cis
