A question about the proper way to do things...

My basic question is a multiple choice one, so I'll get it out of the way up front. The question is, if I notice a grammar or spelling error in a tutorial, should I

(A) Post the error as a comment to the tutorial
(B) Post the error somewhere else, and if so, where
(C) Just ignore it and only report technical errors

My personal feeling is that grammar and spelling errors in tutorials should be reported and fixed, since the tutorials are a major attraction for the site and we want them to look professional. But, does it make sense to post such corrections as comments to the tutorials, where they'll presumably hang around even after the error has been fixed?

Of course, I may well be in the minority in thinking that grammar and spelling errors need to be mentioned at all. Earlier this evening, I posted Comments for, which mentioned a grammatical error in the "Basics" tutorial. Almost immediately, I got dinged twice for sounding like an English teacher. Since then, a couple of people must have ++'d it, because that item's rep now stands at 0, so I'm getting mixed messages here.

I'm so confused! Help!!

*Woof*
