What one person may consider snotty may be because of their own insecurities. Sure, you may consider this snotty as well, but it'snot...
Little play on words there. Sorry you feel so bristly about it. Y don't you lighten up, man. If you notice I didn't accuse Paul of the error. I didn't think he was the one who wrote it. I appreciate his efforts and enjoy his comments; I even enjoy the comments of others. I also appreciate correct English. It is in the interest of raising the standards of everyone who makes this error that I mentioned it, and a way to remember which to use when. I read it to my wife and she thought it was good. A positive suggestion, even if I did mention it's one of my pet peeves. Some people just take anything as intended to attack them personally. I wrote a poem about that... I know we all can't be articulate writers and I don't expect it, not even of myself; however, the more command one has of the language of his country, the more likely others are going to listen to what he has to say. That may come in handy at times. It did for.my uncle. He was responsible for writing and editing a large part of the overhaul manual for the 747. I listen to a young Black man whose grammar is atrocious, but his message is sincere and spot on. He makes videos for u-tube.

He is doing it for us when you think about it. He asked for the help in proofing his work. I am sure he appreciates the catches in grammar, but I don't think he deserves IT'S snotty tone. I think Paul is doing a great job.

It also gives a timeline to Soichiro Honda's various achievements. I do,however, wish that the writer would learn the difference between its and it's: it's is the contraction for IT IS, not the possessive pronoun. That is ITS.
