>>9290 10+ years ago they were grammar nazis. Those that care about spelling and grammar too much. Nowadays the term nazi is too political and no one uses it. You get called ESL for making mistakes that no one that uses the language in an everyday use would do. Ofc you probably know the EOP insult that is on /a/ or /jp/ for those that cannot conceive thinking or understanding some musings that only make sense in foreign languages.
Even I notice how I make retarded mistakes when I let my mental flow break while writing my posts. Annoying tbh when it happens.
This is not a new phenomenon btw. You can describe it as mentality problem where it's a meaning vs punctuality. While I think meaning is always paramount it can still serve as a "quality control" because if you let everyone fuck up their grammar all the time it results in not just broken english but incomprehensible posts that either no one can understand or most people misunderstand.
Sadly grammar is weird. Do you know why? Most people learn to talk before learning grammar as they grow up and grammar is being wrenched into their mind later on. Some people grow up in communities with either broken grammar speaking people or with heavy accents. While people who just learned a new language learn the grammar alongside the language and for them doesn't always "clicks" and they don't notice how they make mistakes all the time. For them there is no natural language or "spoken language" for them only exist the language that they memorized. For someone that the language is already natural might be bothered by it too much for some reason.
Also I think ESL is for half intellectuals who are not willing to use stronger slurs because they are too hurtful or fear bans for calling others niggerfaggotretard while ESL is a "minor insult" that cannot result in ban or anything and they can throw it at anyone who makes mistakes and their almost Tourette syndrome tier online behavior makes it necessary to say that.
I like the "minor spelling mistake" meme because in reddit tier intellectual groups and arguments if you made a spelling mistake you were considered "unfit" to have an opinion. For some people that is their Achilles heel. A weird fetish but those that live to argue for argument sake cannot think without perfect grammar and for those people anyone who makes a mistake is a loser by default.
One more funny thing. I almost like broken english in some cases because it shows it is probably not made by a bot. Language models usually have perfect grammar but contextually make mistakes.
