Correcting grammar in forums or usenet or fidonet of yore is the resort of those who have no argument but ego's umbrage. It's also considered poor form akin invoking Godwin's Law. That notwithstanding, it's also fraught with a fool's folly.

For instance, your rigid assertion of the correct spelling for tryad, or dyad that they must be spelled with an "ia" is erroneous. Both are alternative and acceptable forms.

Whilst you're playing at Mr. Petty the grammar policeman, best hurry back to your original post and edit it yet again for your misuse of "their" (sic) in lieu of the applicable correct form, there.

Paragraphing never hurts readability or to assist comprehension either, although in your case, it's unlikely to help much.

However, I do extend my sincere sympathy to you for my exercising of erudition and literacy beyond your 'ken or comfort. It wasn't my intention to highlight your own inadequacies, yet another misinterpretation on your part.

Cheers 😎
