HomeI genuinely don't know, because they wouldn't talk about it. My brother claims his comment couldn't have been anythying more than the usual family thing where we have a habit of taking the piss out of each other, but he doesn't remember saying anything overly insulting or outrageous.
English teacher wankers.

“If language is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant; if what is said is not what is meant, then what must be done remains undone; if this remains undone, morals and art will deteriorate; if justice goes astray, the people will stand about in helpless confusion. Hence there must be no arbitrariness in what is said. This matters above everything.”

I have Norwegian relatives, and an innocuous remark by my brother, upset the whole bloody lot, and no matter how we tried to explain, they still decided to pick up their ball and bugger off. (Haven't spoken for about 3 years now.). If you don't spell it right, it may often appear as a completely different word to those who don't understand what you mean.
A bit like this perhaps?

I'd forgotten the Aussie one - made me laugh.
This spelling pedantry business. It's one thing to notice other people's bad grammar and punctuation, another thing to be arsed about it, and yet another thing to see it as the natural evolution of an expanding language. I'm the first and the latter usually.
