I say that I want to be an English teacher, so as a matter of getting informed and trying to know if it is worth to giving a lot of importance to the structure of a language sentence and appearance of writing, I headed to this video where I understood that grammar has the work of maintain the order and status quo of the way a language is spoken. So in that purpose it is necessary to teach and learn grammar. For instance, what makes Spanish (the language I speak) the mere Spanish is its grammar rules, and what it makes people to understand an ancient book dating from 1917 is the constant teaching of the grammar instructions of alongside the next years.
I say I watched this video to ensure if it has a lure to give the foremost place to the grammar, or positions it in a second or third plane.

On the Comments section of YT, grammar doesn't really matter. But on YT content, it matters a lot. And as a general rule, more so for people who make a living off language, spoken or written. If one is to be compensated for writing, the ethical thing to do is to follow basic grammar. Of course, it is understood that there are forms of artistic expression where artistic freedom, emotions and concepts give way to correct grammar.

My response to the grammar snob likely would have been, Thats all you got out of my entire story? Great way to kill the mood.
That said, it does bug me when someone misuses a word because they didnt bother to look up what it meant. And its infuriating when the mistake becomes acceptable, as with the non-literal use of the word literal.

So you never actually answered the question.
Was the guy right? Yes. He was. He was extremely rude for interrupting just to nitpick, but he was right.
