You do not need to internalize the voice of the most pedantic person in your mentions when you write.
You should always listen to careful critique, we all need it.
You do not need to satisfy every single nitpicky objection from people who just want a reason to dismiss you...

We all can get things wrong, I know I do (below a thread of all my apologies for when I've messed up).
When someone says "that's not what meant!" don't reply with "yes you did! Admit it. I got you!!!"
Give them some space to say what the mean...

Don't let yourself be nitpicked by pedants who are trying to make you look bad. Also, don't become that person.
Don't try to force people into you frame of reasoning by giving tearse answers and demanding they parse your point on your terms so they have to adopt your frame...

Try to help people see both frames so they can see both sides. If you can, try to invite understanding.
At least make the effort amd the vast majority of people will understand. Communication is hard. We all fail at it. I know I do.
But there are ways we can do it better...

Finally, the goal of communication is to get what they're saying, and help them get what you're saying. If you do that, you've succeeded.
Here's a conversation I had with @AlanLevinovitz where he did a great job of that and I tried my best as well:

The better a communicstor you are, the more effective you are, and good communicstion is about shared understanding, not getting the other person to accept the terms you brought to the discussion.
I hope that helps us a communicate better.
Thank you 😃
