%X It is common to see arguments in social media discussions claiming that ¡°a person is committing grammatical errors and therefore this person¡¯s arguments should not be accepted as valid or true¡±. In this article, I defend that all attacking arguments based on grammatical errors are ad hominem unless the claim is particularly about the writing skills of the opponent. I also suggest using a specific Turkish name for such type of ad hominem fallacies considering that identification of subtypes makes easier to detect them. I derived this name from the phrase which is frequently used to warn and correct error makers. Moreover, I presented sample arguments, which are usually treated under this subtype but should not be considered as fallacious
