Contrived examples are fun but have nothing to do with the actual reasons people demand "correct" writing. These confusions do not happen in real life.

The reason people actually care is only ever to do with in-group signalling or power politics.



It's just an amusing example, not intended to be illustrative.

Confusion can be real though, and certainly speed of comprehension is enhanced by proper grammar.

This is just silly. If you believe that, you may have some half-baked adolescent agenda that you haven't grown out of. Good luck out there.
