swampyankeeI can't believe that your post went -ve on the XP. Last time I looked (after I ++'ed it) it was +3. It's now -5. I wouldn't say I'm "offended by poor spelling and grammar", and I'm not in favour of the squad of vigilantes that you're proposing, but it's a fair point that you raise and I'm certainly one of those people that grimace every time I notice a typo or some sloppy grammar.
Major concern for me is "What do I do if I want to quote the passage/phrase that contains the error in my reply ?". Do I correct it, or not ?
Seems to me that the OP could take offence, either way. To date I've always quoted "as is", and I've not yet been flamed for so doing. Perhaps that merely indicates that the OP has not realised that a mistake was made ....
Ennyway, if you're post encourages just
one person to pay attention to grammer and speling when posting, then I reckon that's a good direction to be heading in.
Cheers,
