I think what important is that people understand what you are trying to say, if it turns into some sort of etymology dicussion it usual isn't anything to do with your prose or a thread, but more to do with lack of reason to argue with it. At least in a forum and in real life also.
Pedantic points are fine, but most people ignore them as they are of little worth if the discussed point were fully understood by all. When someone who is foreign to the language gets pulled up it's educational, when a versed speaker get's pulled up you can usually tell that they don't want to respond to your points because they are troubling, so they resort to picking apart grammar and spelling, beware all pedants, they are seldom worth your consideration, and in fact it's against many of the more educated forums rules; Speak your mind, if someone doesn't follow your exact meaning they will usually have the decency to ask you to clarify, if not ignore them.
You should spoke what you believe and hope people would consider it in the interest of continuation for discussioned purposes.
Plenty of grammatical error but was the prose understandable and was the conjugation acceptable?
