[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can understand the poster's intent, for the love of all that is good, would you please let it go?  I cringe when I notice a mistake in an otherwise interesting post because now I'll have to wade through all the posts about the grammar that don't address the actual subject.  Those are boring posts, y'all.  Let. It. Go.  The people who care already noticed the mistake and the ones that don't care, don't need to see the correction.  If you must, print it out and use your red pen.[/quote]

Don't you want people to help you get better at it?

If not in this anonymous forum, when and where will you have such of obvious chance to improve?[/quote]
Not here, no!  I'm not particularly careful when I post here, so I don't need your corrections.  Also, many people doing the "correcting" have errors in their own posts.  This is not the place for that.  Also, so many of the mistakes are just obvious typos or autocorrect errors.  If you want to improve your skills, pick up a copy of Strunk & White or something, don't come to DCUM.  Do you people actually think you're helping?[/quote]

Lady, the point is how to improve YOUR skills! Do YOU have a copy of Strunk & White?

Perhaps you should work on your reading comprehension first.[/quote] Goodness.  Have you ever heard of the use of the word 'you' to mean a general 'you'?  Let me clarify.  I meant, if one wants to improve her skills, that person should pick up (and yes, read) a book that would help.  One should not come to an anonymous casual forum such as this and believe whatever she is told about her grammar.  Many of the corrections here are wrong; most are unnecessary.[/quote]

Your general "you" certainly does not include me. May I suggest that general you to try a bit harder, and write a bit better?

As shown in your latest post, it's perfectly possible. So, what's the fuss about?[/quote]
