I am a fan of proper grammar, yes, but I usually don't correct folks unless it's work related or just bugs the hell out of me on here I don't like being called a troll sir.

I know how to use correct grammar. But I sometimes forget and revert to my southern slang. It does not bother me for other people to do it.

It's rude to have to decipher other peoples' writings? Okay.

There's a difference between proper grammar used for english composition and the grammar/slang/regional dialect used in conversation. If I were grading an english paper, I would make corrections. Since I consider online forums to be a dialogue, I'd just try to interpret what the speaker/typer was saying... or just ignore it if I'm too tired to decipher.

bad grammar along with bad breath should be punishable by death No caps. No punctuation. Bad grammar, along with bad breath, should be punishable by death. In general, not a big deal. It's the people that complain about grammar while completely ignoring it themselves that get my goat.

If they pay attention to the correction and apply it, then hopefully yes.
