where have I deliberately used incorrect grammar?

Well, he did answer it, I'm not going to go back and find it, but what he implied was that when you deliberately leave a proper noun lowercase that is deliberately using incorrect grammar. Since you are taking up the side of the lowercase usage, the "you" in his implication was more of a "you people" than a specific reference. To which you said something about just because you were defending it didn't mean you did it. This may be where the confusion lies.

The middle of the road compromise to this would to rephrase his sentence to say "I find it is worse when people deliberately use incorrect grammar as opposed to misspell by accident."

Yes, and the thread continues to provide amusement.
