I don't think correcting people is rude, but it doesn't really bug me when people use the wrong usage of your/you're because I can usually still understand the meaning.
Why do you not think it's rude? I don't think pointing out someone's errors or mistakes is really polite, especially on the internet. If it's an essay for an English class, that's different. This is the internet, where spelling doesn't matter since it's informal. As long as I can understand what you're trying to say, it's all good.
Well, I guess it depends on the situation and your point of view. I wouldn't mind if somebody corrected my spelling errors, and would only see it as rude if s/he was very sarcastic or mean about it.
Is it normal to get really upset with the usage of the wrong "your"?
