Seriously. It's never helpful to be smug and condescending about spelling and grammar. When I offer correction, I always make sure to be strictly factual and polite wherever possible, because sometimes people just don't know the difference.
i dont mind getting corrected. what i hate is ppl telling me that my spelling or punctuation sucks without offering any corrections. this is especially great when they use this to discredit me
I thought that correcting spelling or grammar at all is ableist and condescending. If you can understand what they meant at all, then leave it alone. At least, that's what I get told.
I'm all for that until it comes to words like lose and loose. They're not even close to the same thing and I will call you out for it.
That being said I'm not gonna be a dick about it
Whoever says that is incorrect in general, though there are specific scenarios where it is needlessly discriminating and just wrong -- such as trying to correct dialects (think color/colour).
