SD, if you were a dentist, would my cracked filling bother you?

If you were an airline pilot, would missing landing gear bother you?

As an English major and lover of words, obvious mistakes in grammar bother the hell out of me.

Don't trivialize what I find important, please.

There's a difference between being a word-o-phile and being a pedant.
