I encourage people to correct me when I make a mistake, and I know you are sincere in wanting to educate people, but is there really anybody on this site that doesn't know the difference between these two words? If there is wouldn't it be better to correct them directly rather than to post the correction where it is unlikely that they are ever going to see it? This is the third such post I have seen in the last couple weeks. I'm sorry but I can't help but feel condescension when I see posts like this. Maybe I take them too personally, but I cannot avoid them and they just seem to be an insult to our intelligence. I could see this post being addressed to the public at large but I really feel that our membership has above average intelligence and education.

That was very inciteful of you.

Context is everything.

I've been labelled a grammar Nazi for less. Not that I care.

I do violently respect you!!! Keeping the ignorant in line ain't easy .
