I once had a troll attack my grammar. In that case, my grammar was correct and when I gave him sources/proof he got pretty pissed :)

Not 15 mins ago I had someone accuse me of using a logical fallacy... they spelled the logical fallacy wrong. I agree with the meme.

I am one of these people, it's fun. Especially when the other person starts to doubt themselves over punctuation that is actually correct.

Discounting an argument due to grammar issues is stupid but I'm not against criticizing someone''s delivery if a valid point comes first.

Bookmarked for the next time someone claims to win an argument because of spelling. (this happens seriously too fucking often.)
JMcAfreak
That's called "fucking with you." It's what people do when they realize the conversation has become fruitless.
StephLovik
I would only accept that if the people weren't so flat faced serious about that being proof that every argument I've made was wrong.
JMcAfreak
I go into every internet argument with the expectation that it will devolve into a string of ad homs and Hitler comparisons (so uh, ad homs)

dbba
Attacking the spelling behind an argument should be seen as equivalent to an ad hominem attack. If you engage in those tactics, you lose
Zugswang
Argumentum ad grammaticam.
JustinSchuster
I usually point it out alongside my argument. It should never be mentioned on its own though, unless the statement is incomprehensible
5hithawk
What if the original argument is about spelling?
DavidBrooker
Fallacies only suggest that the argumentation is wrong, not that the argued point is wrong.
DavidBrooker
I've agreed with an argument while disagreeing with the point, and agreed with the point while disagreeing with the argument.
PoppinLochNessHopster
Nah, that's just the fallacy fallacy. Just because the other person added in ad hominem doesn't mean they automatically lose, that's silly.
PoppinLochNessHopster
They just lose respect and seem less mature, but their argument may still be sound, and should not reflect their stupidity, no?
dbba
If their only attack of an argument is ad hominem or spelling, yes it does
PoppinLochNessHopster
"the person ADDED in"
therealjackalicious
I see there that the first word of your second sentence isn't capitalized. Your argument is invalid.
nesurame
It reflects poorly on their argument if their rebuttals are more focused on the opponent than the subject.
ilikespoonerisms
Counter argument though, if you don't care enough to edit your argument for spelling, grammar, etc. I'd discount the argument considerably
dbba

Just once. Missing punctuation is easy to notice.

Semantics: the last refuge of the small minded
JMcAfreak
Or the guys who have come to the realization that the argument is going nowhere, so they decide to have a little fun.
DavidBrooker
Semantics can be super important sometimes. Spelling and grammar less so.
Jables84
You should have a full stop at the end of your sentence.
Sirrussel5
The first time I learned that you guys across the pond call them full stops, I was talking to some guy I met in DayZ from the UK. Was cool.
AmazinglyCoolNameHere
Well, it can suggest that the person's education isn't too great. And as was said, grammar, not semantics.
Wally53
Thought that was pedantic?
OneDayIllBeRelevant
As the small minded, can confirm.
mclimbin
The study of meaning? Small minded? I don't get you.
Xeans
Assholes tend to throw semantic arguments at people when they can't refute the point in question
GaiusMariusTheGreat
Anyone who has studied Linguistics knows that spelling and grammar really doesn't matter.

Randomcomma
Isn't that a question between prescriptivism and descriptivism, on which there is no universal agreement?
Camicille
In fact most linguists detest prescriptive grammar; which is the spelling and grammar that schools teach.

Sounds a little like you don't know what OCD means :-)
TheNextGuy
I know what it is, getting all worked up about spelling and unable to ignore it sounds obsessive compulsive.
MissMiaCulpa
I actually know what you mean, but it sucks because I feel like I should be able to ignore it, as long as I get the point.

In a debate then yes, bad grammar will make you lose. A argument is very different.

Probably. Sounds similar to the Fallacy Fallacy.

AttractiveFlatulence
Could be a fallacy of relevance? Attacking the person (ad hominem) or their argument instead of making a counter argument.

Muphry's law says something along the lines of "any comment upon another's grammar will inevitably contain some error itself."

woodjoiner
ad hominem. Attacking the person's spelling skills and not the argument they are making.
dantecubit3000
Actually, attacking spelling errors is a red herring fallacy, not ad hominem.
AttractiveFlatulence
Ahh you are correct, but a fallacy of relevance nonetheless
EtiolatedRaven
Why's this?
dantecubit3000
Red herrings are redirects to an irrelevant topic. If the meme had said "You are an idiot, therefore I win," that would earn an ad hominem.
nadaters
Is it also a red herring fallacy to call out the person on using a fallacy?
Irianne
No, illustrating a fundamental weakness in an argument (it is based on a logical fallacy, for example) is the actual goal here.
woodjoiner
Thank you, I always forget about red herring but I still stand by calling this ad hominem.
PeterBaptist
Doesnt ad hominem attack the person it self? Like you're fat so your argument is invalid
