If you want to be taken seriously get your act together.
This is NOT snarky? Embarrassing someone in public (that's what private messages are for) because words are misspelled or grammar is poor is being even semi-nice and is constructive criticism? Telling another human to get their act together is NOT snarky? I would really, truly hate to imagine what you consider snarky. Does snarky mean downright cruel to you?

According to Merriam-Webster:

"Definition of SNARKY

1: crotchety, snappish
2: sarcastic, impertinent, or irreverent in tone or manner <snarky lyrics>
— snark·i·ly adverb
Examples of SNARKY

<working all day with such snarky jerks is exhausting>

<with champagne as a lubricant, she unleashed an unending series of snarky comments for the duration of the wedding reception>

The writer at No. 10, Fred Mustard Stewart, died last February at 74. His obituary in The Guardian contained this snarky observation: “Year in, year out, the 600-page mark did not daunt him.” —Dwight Garner, New York Times Book Review, 24 Feb. 2008
