Fair enough, let’s have at it, Mr. “King’s English”. (God, do you even hear how insufferably pretentious that sounds?)

Let’s start with the original comment. My edits in [brackets].

“God safe us” - [the] irony right there[… something? “is funny”? What about the irony? You have to finish the thought.][missing comma] especially when critical of someone else’s use of an acronym[comma] perhaps one’s own grasp of the English language should be a little better!!! [Overuse of exclamation points, although one could argue the level of severity in the contents of your message…]

God save us …. [space between “us” and the ellipsis"; and an extra period after the ellipsis]

Next comment!

Well then[missing comma] use this as a teaching moment and elaborate[missing comma; also another “then”? Then then then then.] then?

I live in a country that uses the King’s English[pretentious af but nothing wrong here], not the American version so please enlighten me - [hyphen instead of en dash] I do enjoy learning. [Good, you’re learning right now.]

But don’t say there are [“is an amount”, probably? I don’t know what the King says, but that’s what I would say] an amount of errors without even trying to quantify them….given [again, ellipsis with an extra period; also the weird use of an ellipsis here – it should be a comma] the burden of proof rests with you.

Did you learn something?
