Well, strictly speaking, that may not quite be the case, eh?
> You didn't need to make such a condescending comment.
Now you have me at a disadvantage. I honestly did not mean any condescension. I meant the comment as light-hearted, humorous, and supportive advice. The mention of "typoe" and "apostrophe's" was in that spirit: even those of us who grew up speaking English often get it wrong.
The wonderful thing about English is that even when you do get the "rules" wrong, it may still be cool as long as people understand what you meant.
If I said something that came across as condescending or mean-spirited, could you help me and share the specifics, so I can do better next time? Thanks!
