Yeah. It tends to just become arbitrary.

>>25498614Language is fluid and evolves according to human practice. If the practice requires you to be precise, you gotta be precise. casual discussion generally allows for more variation, and you should probably refrain from sperging out over spelling errors or commonly misused words if it does not actually matter that much to the discussion at hand. Anything precise, like in science/philosophy, or in religious, ritualistic, poetic contexts, or anything surrounding social taboos, (as in >>25498665) make sense to correct.
Really sick of shartyfags posting here.
