What do you feel your response added to the conversation? To me, it reads as a petty attack on a person who is using assisted technology to engage with the community. Which only reflects negatively on you and makes you a jerk and a bully.

You feel someone who is admitting to violating participation and discussion rules.. is adding to the conversation?

With communication issues such as being dyslexic and having shite grammar, or even being a different language, to be able to have the conversation between humans, the technology counts as assistive. At least as described.

"Fix my shit so others can read it" is different than "gimme a comment to respond counter to the thread"
