While your words didn't flow completely naturally Bikeridr you didn't do too badly in making your point. I have read some fan fiction elsewhere where the grammar is less than perfect, but in a lot of cases the writer has a language other than English as their 1st language. If I know that the writer isn't a native speaker of English I'm more likely to overlook the occasional error I think. Even with good proofreaders some errors still make it into published books, though not so many I would hope. If however the author is supposed to know and speak English well and there are a lot of such errors I'm likely to wonder why I should keep reading their book.

It should be "... whether if the word is correctly written ..."
