>Grammar does not matter

most people who learn/are learning a foreign language appreciate getting corrections and suggested improvements. People willing to take the time and analyze and share are a valuable resource.

Regardless if you're struggling with the language and could use the help, or just writing hastily, the correction is excessive and reads like an LLM response.
Not native speaker here. Corrections are soetimes helpful, but I prefer shorter corrections. Something like:

> "know": you should use "known" (adjetive) instead of "know" (verb).

And add more details in case the author or someone else ask for clarifications.

no, we don’t appreciate fixing small typos becoming the main point of discussion in a technical forum. It was completely understandable and sounded like someone not agreeing with the content but not capable of refuting it
