A short while ago, I corrected a sentence in an entry after I read the entry a few times to understand the sentence.
The sentence is as follows:
"My wife told me not to go to the gym today, so I worked at home."
A native English speaker corrected the latter part "I worked at home" to "I worked from home," and another native English speaker voted to the correction, but I thought it was strange that talking about a gym in the first part and suddenly talking about woking from home.
I changed it to "I worked out at home." I suppose the author wanted to say that.
Even if a sentence is grammatically correct, sometimes it does not match the content, so we should be careful when making corrections.
