I’ve already moved on. Couldn’t care less about Reddit any more.

This.

But not much has changed, functionally, for me: I still get downvoted when I point out where people can improve their English and surpass my nephew when he was in the third grade. And I still get to debate technical things based on what I know, so that's really no change. Different pile, is all.

Not here to fight you, but this line of thinking might be why people downvote you for being a language/grammar nazi.

Correcting someone's English also almost never adds anything to the conversation at hand, which is the literal purpose of the downvote.

i downvote because 99% af the time people already know how to write, they just don't want to bother fixing that single error or just wanted to make a quick comment, also it is boring
