I don’t understand your need to be rude after learning that someone is not a native speaker.

  If you aren't a native speaker why did you try to correct the writer of the article? You're allowed to be rude but I am not? I don't want this to be a flame war, I want you to actually reflect on why you think you're allowed to be rude but I am not.

    I wasn’t rude, I was wrong, and any blame for this is totally accepted. I wasn’t rude, because I wasn’t adressing anyone in particular — I wasn’t writing on qmul.ac.uk or in an email to the author. You were communicating directly with me, and I found it unnecessarily rude. Edit: oh and btw you are totally and absolutely “allowed” to be rude, it’s not something I find off-limits or the likes. Just know that I find it… well, rude.

      Honestly, my apologies. I’m quitting nicotine after ten years of (ab)using it. I should probably stay off the internet for a while. Again, my apologies.

        That’s great news actually and I wish you all the best to get off of it permanently! Honestly, if venting off on the Internets helps you to go through with it — well I’m always here when you need me ;-)
