A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

I agree with this. Correcting one's grammatical error is fine. However, additionally, correcting one's grammatical error as a means to disregard the content of the comment in an argument and/or deem their opinion or perspective false because of said error? Not fine and asinine.
I hardly ever make the correction myself and just let the correction comment stand. Especially on lemmy, where comments are never really deleted, it just seems weird to have a correction comment on the thread after its already been edited.
Otherwise, if they are being a prick, ill just be defiant. I don't really care who I offend.
If there were multiple glaring mistakes, which happens, I'll go back and clean things up.
