Well whatever my personal feelings on the subject are, at the end of it all no one died and the message conveyed was understood. Was it grammatically correct no but as long as it was understood that’s the main thing.
Ah ne’er so dire a Thirst of Glory boast,
Nor in the Critick let the Man be lost!
Good-Nature and Good-Sense must ever join;
To err is Humane; to Forgive, Divine.
Alexander Pope. 1711
And to really take things off topic like this takes skill.
I’m going to close this thread now, but can suggest any conversation about COps communications is continued here How’s our way with words? where it’s a lot more relevant.
