I just think it's rude, and I feel bad for the person who has been "put on blast" in front of his/her fellow Orgers. 
When I read a post, if I know something is wrong, I make the necessary "mental adjustment". Who knows- it might just be that the person can't type that well.  Or, it could be because that the person is trying to translate to English from another language.
I always say that if U know what a person is trying to say, what do U gain from correcting him/her in public? What do U think? -L- How many times did you proofread this?  Oh stop! 
Actually, I preview all my posts, just to make sure that's what I want to say before I hit "post response". But I did look this one over carefully, because it would have defeated the purpose...

However, I believe language's standards should be upheld. In a time when we seem concerned with overcoming technological barriers, we seem simultaneously fine with sacrificing the beauty of language. So, silent as I might remain about it here, it bugs me when people display a really poor grasp of their native tongue. Same. It really, truly and deeply bothers me. It bothers me, too. But it bothers me more when someone tries to make someone else look bad in front of other people. I just cringe silently... However, I'm a teacher, and I do correct the students, because it's my job to make sure they know the correct way to say/write the language.

I agree. I'm beginning to sound like a stuck record with this but I can't stand them. It makes the point of having Orgnotes redundant for a start. What's the point in having Orgnotes? Secondly, it allows for people to make snide/bitchy/flame filled comments without making direct reference to someone. A cheats/cowards way to avoid getting their comment snipped and to a greater extent being banned. Thirdly, they go on forever and ever! There's Joy In Expatriation. | |

I make alot of mistakes because I type too fast for my poor old hand, eye co-ordination, which is sadly lacking
