Have you ever felt the urge to correct someone's spelling or grammar, but decided not to because you didn't want to be rude or pedantic? Have you ever noticed a typo or a mistake in a text, but ignored it because it didn't affect the meaning or the message? If so, you have experienced detil, a new word that describes the feeling of restraint or tolerance when it comes to minor errors in language. Detil is a noun that can be used to describe the state of mind or the attitude of someone who chooses not to point out or fix linguistic errors that are not significant or harmful. Detil can also be used as a verb, to detil, meaning to refrain from correcting or commenting on someone's language mistakes.
"I decided to detil when I saw his email, because I knew he was in a hurry and it was not a formal communication."
"She showed a lot of detil when she read my essay, because she only focused on the content and the ideas, not the grammar or the punctuation."
Detil is a useful word because it captures a common phenomenon that many people experience in their daily lives, especially in the age of digital communication, where speed and convenience often trump accuracy and precision. Detil is also a valuable concept because it promotes a more respectful and tolerant approach to language diversity and variation, recognizing that not every error needs to be corrected or criticized, and that sometimes it is better to let things slide and focus on the bigger picture.

I hope that would-be rapist stalking my girlfriend doesn't ever meet me cuz I'll give him the detainee treatment
Those power-hungry despots parading around (in IL) claiming to be democrats deserve the detainee treatment for infringing on individual rights while taxing the hell out of hard-working people
Politicians that practice hypocrisy (ie bailing out bankrupt airlines and public transportation systems) while denying help to individuals who mismanage their finances deserve the detainee treatment.
