I know people get all feisty when there are others that go around and correct grammar. In my eyes I feel they are doing these people a favor. I would rather an anonymous person tell me I have spelled something wrong or used the phrase incorrectly over another person telling me face to face.

Please carry on correcting people....

    *Well sometimes people take it too far. There is correcting and then there is correcting. It isn't like they are really that smart themselves.*

    Ahh, better.

    *Sometimes people need to just relax. I would like to know what the problem is with incorrect spelling when everything else is on the up-and-up.*

    I agree Jen! I'm crazy about grammar and spelling too! It feels weird to correct people, so I generally don't, but goodness do I want to! I don't pretend to be an expert, but the common mistakes kill me!
