A lot of times it does bother me, sometimes I just laugh. I refrain from correcting others. I tell myself they’re just typos.

I couldn't care less ! I have worked very hard to learn English . And was in USA less than 5 yrs when I got my degree w 4.0 gpa. Hey , that counts for something guys , right ?? ?♥️?I wish I knew all the words and how to spell and not just medical ! But I don't . 23 years here and still hard time spelling certain words , and be thankful u can't hear my accent ! Hahahahah ! I AM THANKFUL WHEN PEOPLE CORRECT MY errors ! It's the only way to learn . Who cares about ego or embarrassment ? Nobody feeds me or my dogs than me ????

It depends of course. I love language, so I always try to be accurate, but there's a line, and I don't want to be insufferable hah

I don't feel more than an occasional twinge of need to be controlling around that. I've been on social media long enough to know that many people use uncorrected voice recognition, mobile device virtual keyboards, etc., or English is a (sometimes distant) 2nd language to them, etc. Also, even some people with a decent ability to type and a reasonable command of grammar, aren't very good at putting coherent thoughts together. They're more verbal and writing isn't their thing. Some aspects of modern and online slang and "leet speak" don't help.

Then there's the whole problem that some people just can't read past your first sentence to save their own lives. That seems to be more of a problem with email business correspondence than it is in this format but sometimes you can tell someone hasn't actually read what you wrote, from their reply.

I try not to judge all this, as it would make being online a lot less fun to do so.

When it appears to be typo, I don't typically say anything. When it appears to be an actual case of bad grammar, whether or not I correct them depends on their level of douchiness. For instance, someone using the phrase, "your an idiot" will be met with a correction and a dose of their own medicine.

Copy editing is part of my job. I’ll notice every error, but I have no desire to fix it outside of work. This is a forum, not an essay or a news article.

Oh my God. It shames me. I have all these beautiful thoughts in my head that are free to roam around without threat of punctuation. They almost cry when they can't bring another thought along in fear of the run on sentence bully.

If they were my editor I would have to pay for them to correct my errors. This is a social setting not as if your going to be grade on your typing skills to pass to the next grade. I do hover appreciate when someone politely brings an error to my attention.

It's hard to know if it would be appreciated so I usually refrain.

Yes to all of the above. I hate to be wrong, so if someone corrects me on fact, spelling or grammar, I will normally research the question. If I am wrong, I acknowledge it and thank the corrector. If i was right, I try to cite why i believe I was right. I also admit to ignoring it if it really doesn't matter to me.

I cringe any time I see this. However, I only correct my own children. Sometimes they`ll do an obvious one just to troll me!

I have posted corrections when it is a journalist who has made an error because journalists should hold themselves to a high standard in their written work. Other than that I don’t bother, although I do cringe inside at some errors.

I don't correct electronically or on paper...but I do mentally correct mistakes..so as not to offend.

I have, on occasion, issued a grammar alert when poor grammar obscures the intentions of the writer.

I'm dyslexic and so I'm mostly use to people correctly me.
The only time it's annoying is when I'm trying to make a point, and the point is ignored because of a spelling of grammar error.

Unless it's an error in a headline, I generally don't correct. People make typographical errors all the time. I don't find it a big deal unless it's something that should already have been edited by a second set of eyes or unless it's so full of errors that it's incoherent.

Doesn't bother me at all. I'd rather I be correct now and be right later when it matters.

It honestly bothers me more when people ignore grammar and spelling. Especially when it appears to be deliberate,or in an attempt to sound edgy or cool.

I don't correct, but I do tend to judge. Then I look at my writing sometimes and wonder what people must be thinking about me. All typos, of course.

I feel a lot better about myself since I stopped judging others for that kind of thing.

The mistakes of others matter if they're committed by my kid, student, or employee. Since I have none of those...

If I make a legitimate mistake (i.e. not a typo or text-speak) I would be somewhat surprised and very much appreciate knowing about it.

If someone who is really annoying and petty uses poor grammar, I'll comment to annoy them too. If someone makes a point of pointing out others' minor mistakes, I kind of enjoy pointing theirs out.

I am a grammar nazi. I correct novels, even.

However since it's the internet, and my hands are clumsy and I can't type well, i let it slide more

I don't really care how other people speak or write our language. Language is too fluid to expect it to remain static. Words I used as slang as a child are now in the dictionary. However, I will tease a friend when they use an incorrect word by taking the meaning of the sentence in a completely different direction than they intended. Sometimes it takes them a few replies to figure it out.

Hmm, I have made mistakes and people go ape shit at me. I don't mind being corrected just don't assume it has anything to do with intellect and don't call me all sorts of crap.

Its called Anal Fixation. I was in Graduate School and was attempting to write my thesis on 'Altruistic vs. Competitive' Education which to a Psychology Professor is putting a dampening light onto his future and mine also. I threw myself into ring and researched thoroughly, documented every reliable source and footnoted each and every source and then had to type it myself which can be a problem when you are performing all of the above. It was the very late 70's and computers and spell checking was into a brain tank and not where to accommodating.
Bottom Line I get the paper back as a B+ with the connotations that it 'was a very thoroughly researched paper faulted by many grammatical and spelling errors.
To me I fully understood the correct Degree Academic Degree Stature of Importance and Recognition which is that a B.S. Degree is to be understood as Bull Sheet. Further recognition is a an M.S which included More Sheet that leads into a Ph.D which is being awarded with Waders because you Piled High and Deep.
