I may be in the minority on this, but I actually appreciate a correction as long as it's not made in a mocking manner. If I make a grammar mistake on a message board, there's a decent chance I make the same mistake outside of it.

A somewhat recent example is when someone on here pointed out my use of "doesn't jive with" when I should have said "doesn't jibe with." It's not a phrase I use much anyway, but I know I've only used it correctly since then.

You are definitely in the minority and you are clearly a gentleman and a scholar.

It is also unlikely that you make the kind of mistakes that deserve severe mocking. But those definitely exist.

If it's one word misused or misspelled, and the "corrector" simply type the one word, I'm fine with it. If they want to make a multi-sentence post and hijack the whole thread and make it about how I am a ###### idiot, I'm not as tolerant.

It's a function of the comedy value of the error in question, and how it's pointed out.

Roster/rooster still amuses me.

It's become part of board lore, like routinely using "yoot" or "wa-la." I've been caught using terms like this elsewhere, much to my chagrin.

This is one of the things that keeps FBG a better place than the average internet spot.

I think most people give more leeway now that people are posting from their phones.

Meme on FB basically demeaning those on welfare. Sort of an I'm better than you. Misspelled you're. Had no choice but to point out the idiocy.

If their not effecting to many people, I could care less.

"inviting someone to point out your own."

This was my first thought.

For me though, my thoughts on the correction is generally going to be inverse to the quality of post wherein the grammatical error lies.

For example if it's some knucklehead like Eminence saying something like "Your stupid if think black people are as intelligent as me" then the grammatical correcting is comically ironic and necessary.

However, if the grammatical error could be a type and is a small piece of an otherwise well versed, poignant pie then it seems petty.

You're grammer hear is turdible.
