@inthehands Totally true. I try to be constructive in all cases. Sorry if I came across as pedantic myself.

I only express my frustration in reference to people who genuinely do not see the value in learning.

@inthehands Sure, that is lacking too. But I hate that even the basics are not valued.

I often hear people say it's not useful to learn to write properly because you never write by hand anymore, and spell checkers are always available. Guess what, spell checkers are not always used, not always correct, autocorrect is often totally wrong, people don't even re-read their message before posting.

I pride myself on writing properly in both languages and it's seen as totally useless to some people.

@inthehands @stephstephking I am a French-Canadian. English is my second language. It is super depressing to have to correct verb tenses or even spelling in a code review, especially when it's code written by a native English speaker. We wish they would write more documentation, but if they did it would probably be full of mistakes too. I don't blame them, they didn't have enough reading/writing classes early on. The same is true of French speakers, because of education system and texting...
