I believe he meant that he can, indeed, tell the difference between three possibilities of error. So, his usage was correct.

Indeed.

It's not that hard. If someone writes "could of went" they are uneducated. If they make a mistake but do it correctly at other places, like "your" for "you're" they probably didn't proofread. If they write something weird, like "Matheny went to the bullpen and arranged witches" they put too much faith in autocorrect.

My apologies. A risky post on my behalf, and it backfired.

What about when they write 'prolly'? Like I prolly think they are dumb when they write that.

Overlooking the wrong tense (went instead of gone) the use of "of" instead of "have" is one of my biggest grammatical pet peeves.
