grammar/spelling/word usage

[calganagain]

How do you feel about correcting another's posts concerning any of the above?

Occasionally, I will correct someone if it is an obvious mistake or they make the same mistake repetitively. I feel if you don't then they will never learn proper grammar, proper usage, or correct spelling.

Note:come+ing=coming
come+ing!=comming

But honestly, I think its ok to correct people every now and then, just as long as you don't go overboard, and start to scrutinize every thing they say.

I generally correct people under the following conditions:

1) there's some indication that they're not sure whether or not something is correct (such as an "(sp?)" after a word)

2) they really piss me off

3) they've incorrectly corrected someone else
