to think that correcting someone's spelling/grammar etc on a thread is actually quite petty and pathetic?

[wannaBe]

Really what does it matter?

Fio, I was refering to the 'how big of you' comment.

I make lots of spelling/grammar mistakes because I type quickly and don't check it- why should I?
I have only been corrected once and it seemed very petty to me

I've only ever corrected someone else's spelling once, and it was definitely passive aggressive (or just plain aggressive), because the poster was annoying me.

It is a rude thing to do.

I don't see the problem. I'd want to be told if I were making mistakes.
