  • Although it may make them look like an idiot for doing so, you'd look like a douche for pointing it out.

  • I always correct my little brother, but he's only ten so I can get away without seeming too bad. But I also do it when people are talking online. I get away with it though because everyone knows I want to be an English teacher so they just let me carry on lol.

  • I can't help it, I do!

    I teach so I'm lucky to get away with it but my mother absolutely cracks up with me. She feels I am being superior and insulting her. I'm not, I'm just trying to help her but she deliberately refuses to learn from her mistakes!

  • It's not normal to correct people all the time, but I would say it is normal to want to! My biggest struggle is wanted to correct pronunciation and people can get very offended by that. So I try not to do it...but occasionally it gets the better of me lol

  • Did you type this so horribly in the hopes that someone would correct it?

  • That's annoying. It only bothers me when people writing spell like, "oMg gess wat just hapened lyk u wont blieve it!!!!"

    If it's little things when people talk or write I ignore it. No need to get all huffy.

  • People generally don't like it. Unless people ask me to proofread, I tend not to point it out.
