There's useless pedants like this all over the Internet. You should probably wear a hat.

I'd agree if this were the top two comments without many disagreeing replies or down-votes.

I see this comment in down-voted grey, somewhere way down the page and assume a lack of social skills, bad-morning-before-coffee-grumps.

Or simply Internet Asshat Background Radiation, it's everywhere. Legends say you can trace its echos back to the First Flame from which the Internet was born.
