    I feel like I’m walking into a trap here but:

    This pedant is using an adjective as an adverb.

    (…)you don’t conjugate your verbs right.

      right is informal american english for “correctly”. i don’t give a shit about prescriptive rules of grammar, they’re all bullshit. every last rule was created by some holier-than-thou pedant. i’m only interested in descriptive rules, i.e. grice’s maxims (the thing that finally made me understand how to get over my autism)
