I’ve seen honest people mocked for writing “that” instead of “whom.”
For a missing apostrophe. For using “than” the wrong way, in a rush.
But what they were saying… was correct.
Maybe clumsy. Maybe full of little errors. But their own thoughts — not taken from a book.
And when someone has the courage to speak sincerely in a conversation,
that’s more important than any grammar rule.
🛡️ I defended them. Always.
Not to seem righteous.
But because it just felt right.
I knew that:
- if no one supports them, they retreat
- if they retreat, only the “polished” ones are left — and they say nothing
- and if all of us who make mistakes go silent… there’ll be no one left who thinks freely.
🎭 Those who laugh at form have no content
Some correct others just to seem clever.
They have nothing to say — so they mock. They joke, they sneer, they act superior.
But you know what?
A simple person who thinks sincerely but messes up a hyphen
is worth more than a literature expert who says… nothing.
📖 The truth is simple
📌 This isn’t a language competition.
📌 We’re not here to win likes for form.
📌 Not everyone had the chance to learn perfect grammar.
But anyone can have an idea that matters.
💬 My conclusion
Don’t write perfectly. Write honestly.
Say what you think. Say what you feel.
Make mistakes — but think for yourself.
Because the world doesn’t lack correct sentences.
It lacks people who speak the truth —
even without perfect grammar.
🧩 If you’ve ever been through something like this, write to me.
Or write down your thought, even if it’s “wrong.”
Better imperfect and real than flawless and empty.
