The AIRT picked apart the OP's word choice to the point that it was pedantic. People tend to criticize ESL speakers for word choice far more harshly than they criticize native English speakers, and I don't really think the OP's post or replies necessitated a lecture about the implication and connotation behind common words like "real" or "probably" which are rarely taken literally.
I don't have an opinion one way or the other about a different archive, but the anon correcting the OP came off as sounding very intellectually superior. OP's posts and comments weren't difficult to understand and their implication was clear, so the grammar comments were unnecessary.
