Idk. Imo, the spelling of words matters much more than punctuation and capitalization. "Your" and "you're" have wildly different meanings. If i understand the marriam-webster definition of prescriptivism correctly, it pertains more to the spelling and cultural understanding of the word. Perscriptivism would be saying that what they said was blatantly wrong; which i didnt do. But calling someone stupid while mispelling the main subject of the sentence is pretty ironic and happens a lot.

[For instance: M-W uses the words irregardless and regardless for their example. For this specific scenario, i would say ur is better than your]

But i can just take my stupid elsewhere i suppose (get it? Lol)
