I see plenty of people do that, and honestly it's useful, but is still coddling. Reading stops as soon as the words make you cringe. Unless you're reading ****ty fanfiction that you expect to be ****ty and so you give it some leeway, wonky prose for an entire sentence at the beginning of a book is all that is needed to drop an entire book like a bad habit. Shoot that **** in the head and don't give anyone the idea that it's anything different.
