I try not to be an intellectual snob about grammar. There are some grammatical concepts I acknowledge are difficult for some people, especially if they're writing in haste, and homophones can trip people up even if they do know which is which, and some people find apostrophes tricky, and so on.
However.
If someone is making somewhat sneering remarks about the literary merits of different books, and has used as phrase as insufferable as "entertainingly competent" to dismiss an author (particularly one I like), but in the same blog post uses the construction "her's"?
My sneering superiority will be manifest. Because you've set yourself up for that. And because that's never a correct usage.
