Well, I *don't* correct people but it sometimes takes all my might to resist. I wish there was a way to *politely* point out to people that they may want to check their grammar. It's kind of like seeing someone with food in their teeth - You want to help them avoid embarrassment but the very act of doing so embarrasses them (and gets you labeled a Grammar Nazi).

Yes, I realize it's a slippery slope from correcting "your" and "you're" (sadly, a battle that I fear is already lost) to arguing over dangling participles but man, some people just aren't trying.

The one that is killing me now is people writing "I must of forgotten...". Really? You are are hearing "must've" and thinking "must of".

To me, there is a difference between typos and laziness.

I'm only commenting here because this isn't directed at anyone or any specific post. Otherwise, I know I'd get the "Nazi" label - the universal Get of of Jail Free card for lazy grammar. But, I know I'll still get skewered...(sigh)
