I do not say anything if a person is in distress in any way, eg. looking for advice to leave an abusive situation.
Other than that, depends on the topic, although I do give up trying to decipher some threads!

I hate it when posters correct grammar or spelling.

It's an immediate 'twat' indicator for me.

Mine isn't that great. but it is absolutely appalling if I'm making tea /dealing with DCs etc plus keyboard on my phone disappearing mid sentence. So I really can't judge anybody else Blush

If the OP is clearly a troll then it's game on.

Otherwise it's a bit cunty.

I have only once mentioned spelling and grammar on here, and that was when someone did an aibu about other peoples spelling. I think it was along the lines of 'aibu to think they should of checked their spelling'. I wasn't the only one that brought up it should be have instead of of.

Ahh, I'm a twat then. I really don't mind, I only do it to someone I think it being twatty, usually on a benefits thread. But of course, that's my opinion.

My spelling and grammar is excellent in real life, on here not so much. If I have made a typo I can't be arsed sometimes to go back and change it. If it is still legible I let it go.

frantically checking post for typos
