		How do you feel about correcting another's posts concerning any of the above? Occasionally, I will correct someone if it is an obvious mistake or they make the same mistake repetitively. I feel if you don't then they will never learn proper grammar, proper usage, or correct spelling. Note:come+ing=comin g come+ing!=comming (Edited by calganagain at 11:02 am on Jan. 4, 2003)

		I generally correct people under the following conditions: 1) there's some indication that they're not sure whether or not something is correct (such as an "(sp?)" after a word) 2) they really piss me off 3) they've incorrectly corrected someone else
