Why is everybody fixating on my preface?

Because a curious part of written internet culture is that of fixating on small mistakes that aren't even important to the overall context or meaning of a post, and ignoring the actual content. Why, I'm unsure, but I've been noticing it a lot more now that I'm aware of it!


Been thinking the same, but it also often feels like “waiting for your turn to talk”.
