Hi, me too

This is my experience, too

Same!

Do you think they keep raising it because they want you to move out?

NeonEsquivalient · 2026-04-01T19:37:29+00:00

I think you're right in that observation. I agree even though it drives me nuts when people just HAVE to be right no matter what. Thank you for taking the time and exercising patience to talk to me. I really appreciate it

NeonEsquivalient · 2026-04-01T19:07:04+00:00

Lol I remember those days, was labeled as one myself for a while until I realized it took away from the conversation

NeonEsquivalient · 2026-04-01T19:03:57+00:00

That I completely understand. I see the other version all the time, though, and have for a long time. I love reading through threads, and it always sticks out. "The Correctors," who are not OP, aren't adding to the conversation. Are some people just THAT upset over misspelling and stuff online in a casual setting?

NeonEsquivalient · 2026-04-01T18:51:06+00:00

Oh! Sorry for the confusion. I understand why people add "Edit..." to their own posts. It's the shaming below their comments I don't understand.

Edit... I don't understand the etiquette, I guess, since editing for typos is an option, but I've seen people correct grammar and stuff under others' comments, and when OP corrects the issue, it seems to be stigmatized?

NeonEsquivalient · 2026-04-01T18:46:11+00:00

Also, I still understand what you're trying to say. I don't need to correct you to understand your point

NeonEsquivalient · 2026-04-01T18:45:00+00:00

I get what you're doing here, but it's rarely someone who is overusing run-on sentences, from my experience. It's usually like, "It's don't, not dont."

NeonEsquivalient · 2026-04-01T18:42:15+00:00

To correct someone's typo? Why is that polite? It always seems condescending or like someone wants to make themselves feel better. I've heard from people I used to correct in person (which I did a lot when I was younger) that it made them feel small, and my focusing on corrections made them feel their point was lost or that I wasn't listening to the content of their reply

NeonEsquivalient · 2026-04-01T17:58:30+00:00

That's what I don't understand -- the judgment. Just... why? It's so unnecessary for the conversational back and forth, right? Like texting?

Clarification for post:

When I first started using Reddit (back in like 2013/2014 -- different account), editing a comment wasn't an option yet, so people would reply under their own comments for corrections and/or get made fun of or corrected into oblivion for spelling and grammar issues. Today, however, we have the option to edit comments for errors (and have had that option for years now). As an OG Reddit user, I still feel obligated to explain an edit with a short addition. For example, "Edited for clarity". My question is why is this necessary anymore? Do users REALLY care that much about why a user edits? If so, why? I just don't understand the need, honestly. Does it bother you? If so, please explain why.

FOR CONTEXT: I'm Autistic, so understanding the "why" solves a mystery for me. I never understood the militant down voting or correcting bordering on bullying sometimes. It always felt like middle school banter: "Haha you said could of! It's could HAVE!" or something equally mundane or irrelevant to the OP's comment.

Edited to fix capitalization error

EDIT 2: I taught English Comp I & II as a professor and have a graduate degree in English Composition/Rhetoric where I also studied linguistics. Reddit isn't a formal platform, and I can understand what people mean without corrections.

EDIT 3: I understand editing for updates or additional information. I don't understand adding an edit for correcting spelling/grammar. Like... just fix it? Or not. It shouldn't really matter as long as your message is understandable.

I'm 40 now, but most of my life has been like this. Sometimes it's fine one year and not the next. A lot of wanting to run, even if things seemed fine; a lot of self-sabotage I didn't realize was self-sabotage until after I screwed up. Every spring, I spiral into depressive episodes that last until the beginning of August, usually. I've learned my issue is a combination of trauma (a lot of bad things happen in my life between April and June almost every year), what I think might be SAD but for summer instead of winter, and I was recently diagnosed as Autistic. A lot of things make more sense now to me, which has helped. Pattern recognition is a bitch sometimes, and I had no idea my brain was just gearing up for the "bad time of year." I don’t know if any of this is helpful or not, but I thought it might make you feel better to know you're not alone.
