What about those of us whom wish to ‘conserve’ the proper use of the written English language...may WE stay?
Personally, I’d like to see postings from those whom know how to properly use commas, don’t begin fragmentented sentences with conjunctive words like ‘And’ or ‘But’, will use ‘ly’ adverbs, and know that there is no such word as ‘’Allot’’.
Drop the pretentious ‘IMHO’ act and focus on yourself first.

Except there is such a
word, my friend. The word, however, was used incorrectly by the original poster. So, your original point stands.

That was a joke, right?
You incorrectly used "whom" for "who" (twice); you incorrectly used single quotation marks when you should have used double quotation marks (four times); you incorrectly used an ellipsis; you split an infinitive; you misspelled a word; you capitalized a few words unnecessarily; you misplaced a comma outside a quotation mark; and you misplaced a period outside a quotation mark.
And by the way, there is such a word as "allot."
Other than that, I'm right behind ya!
