I think correcting grammar and spelling is jerky.
But let's take it one step beyond! Let's correct sentence structure, eliminate useless helping verbs and get rid of passive voice!
so the passive voice and helping verbs will be gotten rid of?
Oof. If passive voice and helping verbs can be seamlessly eliminated: YES!
Note: I kinda started out on this as a parody of people correcting grammar on the internet--it bugs me--grammar is a fickle beast and it is a slippery slope. Unfortunately I feel I've crossed the line of parody.
FTR: you saw what i did there, right?
