So-called doctor says:-
GRAMMAR enthusiasts which point out everyday errors are much fewer interesting compared than normal people, according to researchers.

You don't think that opening sentence, also featuring the misuse of "which" and "than", was somewhat tongue-in-cheek?

carefully checks grammar before submitting

I thought maybe using the word brought rather than bought might suit the thread a little better considering the mistakes thus far.

I don't care how many grammar mistakes are in this post.
