That's my point exactly.
And Mumsnet is dreadful for it. Armchair diagnosis within seconds of a post.

Has anyone read that nasty thread in AIBU about the person who was told she can’t speak English properly? When reading the OP I instantly spotted she meant “was” and “wax” was just a typo, but cue pages and pages of horrible, sneery comments. I saw it last night and surprised it’s still up tbh
awful thread. Mumsnetters all claim to be very clever but they can’t even understand a typo where it’s very clear what the meaning is. Pathetic. I haven’t read the whole thread yet but hope the poor OP is ok.
I hate it when they sneer and make jokes and comments about other people's grammar/spelling mistakes. It's so rude, some people have learning difficulties/autism/dyslexia which makes it difficult to process language.
And I agree with the armchair diagnoses - things like autism, narcissism and dementia being regularly trotted out.

My spelling and grammar isn’t always great, but I had anxiety as a child and school refused so I’ve got I’ve got gaps in my learning. But really, does it really matter? It’s MN not a thesis.
No, it doesn't matter.
Once again, it's ignoramuses trying to sound clever who nitpick over other people's spelling and grammar and pretend not to know what they mean.
Anyone reading the Ivy thread? So glad someone finally said this.

I’m not here to diagnose someone based on a brief description on the internet, but god, it pisses me right off whenever I see a parent list a ton of autistic traits, but dismiss autism on the basis of being able to make eye contact
The nappy thread! Someone annoyed that their sister in law changed their child’s pissy nappy.
I just can't take ANYTHING seriously that is posted there anymore, I just can't.
Me neither. I sometimes wonder how many of them are just making tit up for attention?
Lately every other thread feels made up or so petty that I can't believe people post about them.
Anyone seen the thread 'Neighbour constantly throwing food out to birds and now one tit on my baby'? It's every bit as stupid and pointless and probably made up as it sounds, but I did laugh at the poster who replied "You can't exactly enforce a no-fly zone over your baby, sorry."
Mumsnet will be in overdrive today with Fathers Day threads. One more ornate and invented than the next.
I think I will give it a miss.

There was one this morning moaning that her kids had to be prompted to say ‘Happy Mothers Day’ but said ‘Happy Fathers Day’ of their own free will

I honestly can’t believe adult women (in the main) who are inevitably senior members of a ‘team’ in charge of huge projects, working full time, have kids, juggling (always bliddy juggling!) with all the life admin they do, come on Mumsnet to ask something ridiculous like ‘should I take my neighbours parcel in, she looked at me funny this morning?’
More tradesman bashing. Yes how dare they chase payment for the work they’ve carried out
