Youd spot someone missing an apostrophe missing commas, not making things uppercase, or some other, like, bad english.
There's then "Standard" English, where one is expected to utilise the language correctly.
Beyond that, you get into demonstrating a classical education, with the inference that knowledge of Latin phrases ipso facto means intelligence.
I'm much more likely to trust a source written in Standard English as you'd find in a newspaper, as opposed to a poorly written FB post.
- robocat 6y ago> Beyond that, you get into demonstrating a classical education, with the inference that knowledge of Latin phrases ipso facto means intelligence. I’ve been reading some classic English books, and it is really noteworthy that the writers use Greek phrases and references to Greek plays, clearly as a sign of status (synonym: culture). The οἱ πολλοί are not educated. Having one’s English corrected is reviled by many, because the implication is that they are poorly educated and lower status. Take care when correcting anyone’s English online or offline!
