Just FYI... I know it is considered uncool to correct writing, and I'm often told that grammar is irrelevant these days. I don't mean to be that guy, but I also don't believe grammar is irrelevant. Personally, I always get briefly confused when I read the wrong word. ("Stationary _what_?" -- I thought briefly you might be talking about a stationary bicycle.)

Man, it kinda bums me out that we have to be so guarded these days when just trying to help someone by correcting an honest mistake.

The trolls ruin these things for the rest of us.
