I‘d rather have the missing page. A lot of grammar mistakes is annoying, but my mind automatically corrects them while I‘m reading.

Neither. 😂
I‘ve had to deal with both of these. I actually stopped lending books out for these reasons. I‘ve had people borrow books and just keep them, or they borrowed books in immaculate condition and returned them looking extremely used.
I guess I‘d rather get a book back dog eared than not get it back at all.

Wow! It depends on the page. Unfortunately, so many authors have several pages in books that can be skipped with no impact. So as long as it‘s one of those, I choose missing a page.
I can‘t stand those grammar errors. A book full of them would be a nightmare. Thankfully, most of my reading is audiobooks so mix them up all you want 😂
Thanks for the tag @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

If I loan any book out, its one I don't care about losing. I learned a long time ago that people keep everything. So they wont have a chance to dog-ear any of my favorite books lol.
I figure if you are a lender of anything, you have to be prepared to never see it again. So unless it‘s a rare or irreplaceable book, I‘m okay with lending and not getting it back. But if you return a dog-eared book to me, I‘ll have to kill you. JK! I would be embarrassed to return a book I had damaged in any way-so I would buy a new one for the lender.

I think page missing would be worse😳 bc FOMO
But yes I am the spelling/grammar police, but it‘s everywhere now, so I overlook it

I feel like when I lend a book out I‘ve accepted anything could happen. A lost book seems sad though. My favorite find when a friend returned my book was a Cheeto fingerprint, it became a fun inside joke. I think I prefer my books to be loved. That said, I try to avoid a dog ear but it has happened in desperate moments. 🐶

I can live with dog eared pages, though the next time they borrow from me I would include a bookmark.

This is like choosing between two evils! I think I could live with the grammar errors. A missing page is the worst sin.
