29. I only correct people who disagree with me, as a way of proving that...
...I'm smarter than they are and that therefore I'm right and they're wrong. KIDDING! I've never corrected grammar or typos here. I think lots of errors in posts are due to fast typing or less-than-stellar typing skills (such as my own). Most errors are fairly harmless, unless they affect the context, and those are worth noting. Otherwise, you might just come across as a jerk if you do it often. My first job was as a proofreader, and I've got a pretty good eye for such things but, as someone else here noted, who's go the time to proofread the posts of others?
