Actually, I think your response is really pathetic. Not everybody is good at writing, and for many, English isn't their first language.

If you don't like his question, don't answer, but finger-wagging over commas and punctuation makes you look bad.

English is OPs first language, based on his profile.

I don't think it's too much to ask to just proofread before you submit.

That's an important life lesson as well.

It doesn't mean pedantic finger-wagging is an appropriate response to the question. You corrected him because you feel superior. You aren't.
