Correcting spelling/grammar on the Internet

There seems a correlation between really horrendous grammar/spelling and bad tempered idiocy/drugged up melts.

The odd missed comma or typo is of no consequence we all make 'em. But the angriest chimps warring against the world and all about are flummoxed by basics like "lose" and "loose", "there" and "they're", "your and you're" etc. They seem proud of their gargantuan lack of education and comprehension issues oblivious to the fact ill written bluster exposes why reasoned argument eludes them.

It is an open goal that needs slotting.

Commata surely?

If you were at a dinner party and someone continously kept correcting everyones conversational grammar then you would quite rightly think them to be a loathsome social cripple who should be cast into the gutter without pudding.

Surely people who go to dinner parties would pretentiously called pudding dessert ?

No space between dessert and question mark.

You’re usually making a good point if all someone can come at you for is spelling.

 

[Death]

I bet you checked that a few times before you let it go.

He emailed his English lecturer from school to get the green light I’d say. He’s wrongly come at me with grammar correction before. Overturning a grammar Nazi correction is the sweetest joy.

Don't use an Oxford comma myself, for no reason other than I never liked the way it looked, felt like an extra unnecessary pause in text even though it actually makes no difference.

It would be far more convenient to boycott £50 notes though, i use 50p pieces all the time. Hopefully people can find something wrong with them instead.

I have to deal with the 'Ringing the changes' scam in work every few weeks.
Used to start with a £50 note, but now getting more clever.
Some lids are boss at doing it though.

It has long been something that annoys me greatly watching this endlessly occurring on countless threads.

If it was out of a personal quest to help others I might be more amenable but it is almost without exception used to break rhythm in discussion and to demean someone's argument by passively aggressively belittling then.

If you were at a dinner party and someone continously kept correcting everyones conversational grammar then you would quite rightly think them to be a loathsome social cripple who should be cast into the gutter without pudding.

Anyone who is engaged in this practice should be treated with extreme suspicion and has undoubtedly, if male, never put their willy in a woman.

Personally, having a poor low level of education, I don't really mind being pulled up on my spelling and grammar, I just try and use it to help me improve.
