Does seeing a spelling or grammatical error in the title of a post reduce its credibility for you?

You sound annoying and in a field that values grammar over end products and results

Wanna guess?

Hilarious auto-corrects could be a spin-off itself.

I think grocery store clerks value grammar more than you do.

One typo I can overlook, but when there are A LOT of typos and grammatical errors throughout the posting as well, then I don't put as much stock in what the writer is saying. This is particularly true of abbreviations such as LMAO, LOL, ur etc. It's fine to text those to your friend, but leave them in your phone, please.

Please get some prospective!

Yes, but those who feel compelled to post corrections are equally offensive to me.

Definately.

No, but I think the poster has an impaired intellect. Why can't people proof-read anymore?

More offensive, actually. Pointing out a minor typographical/grammatical error does not take the field in any way.

Would Jeff make corrections, if requested by the OP?

I am ESL and often make both spelling and/or grammar errors. It's difficult for me because in my native language, subject and verb are completely different then how it is done in English. No matter how long I am in this country, I still think "backwards" as my husband says.

Maybe if you grammar fannatics spent a little less time judging others and a little more time visting other countries, you would not be so wrapped up in internet anger.

Happy holidays!

The issue is not proof reading. The problem is people not knowing the right way to write.

As an ESL myself I particularly like when people correct me and learned to select who I hang out with based on how (and if) they do it.

One or two is fine-especially since autocorrect seems to make them inevitable. What irks me are long, run-on sentences and lack of punctuation/capitalization.

Most frequently, I see people jumping in to correct obvious trolls. It sure beats trying to meet the troll on the ground of her own fake issues. Yesterday I saw somebody correct a troll's grammar and finish with, "You're welcome." It was funny and well done.

I'm tolerant of the non-trolls, however. People do get tired.
