So, you are suggesting I am a "poor" writer due to my writing which you
have judged?

Not offended. Just mildly irritated. (FWIW, IMO, folks should ask what
others are feeling and not make assumed statements.)
You have no idea who I am. You don't know, for example, that I may have
a vision impairment which may make proof reading harder than normal.
You don't know, for example, that I may suffer from dyslexia.
Thank you for letting me, and others, know that we should avoid
correcting ourselves (even if the correction is necessary to avoid a
technical misunderstanding) to help you with your desire to make
"helpful suggestions".
