Surely, you*
are, it*

imagine getting offended by the way someone writes and using that as a gotcha in a sad attempt to distract from the point. i’m ESL, how many languages can you speak? the fact that i came off as tryhard and pretentious to you is all the affirmation i need regarding my grasp on English. it sounds like you might be insecure. 
maybe you shouldn’t tell on yourself by criticizing grammar and being pedantic yourself; it doesn’t come off the way you think it does.
