I do not think the new rules or for this use case or at least not target at them.

None of the examples I looked at from Dang's post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47342616 look like gramarly edits that are hard to notice.

I think it is, at least mostly, about the blatant cases that are often already down voted and flag and make it official.

I often see the rules in: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html broken, mostly small ways, I still think we are better off with them or something similar rather than having nothing.
