Until it is mentioned (often afterwards), how would one know the person is neurodivergent? Is it fine to correct someone making those mistakes who are neurotypical?

I think how the correction is made is the differing factor, because you can never have complete information about the people you reply to on a platform like this.

On the other side, there is definitely a time and place to correct people for simple mistakes, especially if you still understand what they mean. Replying to someone asking for help in a matter is probably not one of those times. Replying to someone pointing out other mistakes or lack of knowledge, I think, is a fine place to make corrections (respectfully).

Especially if no one is called out by name and insults aren't being used.

You would be surprised how many people are unable to do that, who are physically capable of doing it.

"Don't you know who I am?!"

"Yeah, the guy who was going to be my boss starting next week. Goodbye, don't call back."

Usually convenience if you're on a computer and already have a browser open.

But even then half the time I pull my phone out to use the calculator app instead. And I don't think I've ever used a browser as a calculator while on my phone.

It is how vets work. Just call a different vet and ask them if it sounds extreme. They might not have a definitive answer without having seen your cat in person, but will still know better than a bunch of randos on the internet!

I absolutely hate this, but can't deny that it's accurate

Yeah, "weeds" are contextual to what and where the plant is. Of course it's a made up concept, it's not a classification of a type of plant, just a description of a plant you don't want in a certain spot.

You realize the comment you are replying to does not actually support acting that way, but is ridiculing people who actually hold that viewpoint, right?

It's a show hosted by Richard Ayoade about different "modern" tech gadgets ("modern" because it came out a decade ago).

Gadget Man is probably one of the closest
