The issue is more like, how in the world are there still people getting this wrong when it has to be the most corrected grammar issue? The other thing is its easier for native speakers to figure stuff out, but for learners, natives making mistakes like this is a nightmare. Why can't people just fix their comment instead of trying to defend their mistake?

Who cares? Why does it matter? It's a comment on the internet, not a thesis.

clearly a some people care. just because its not a thesis doesn't mean you can't try to write clearly. look, I'm not even capitalizing the first letter in my sentences, but i at least make logical sense.
