I see loads of comments correcting people for either being a "grammar nazi" or for having bad grammar and spelling mistakes.

I personally don't mind if someone miss spelt a word but I always see comments of people being corrected which I think is pointless if you can make out what they mean.

Also when you post do you spell check or do you just post first time without checking? I try to make sure I spell correctly the first time but I don't spell check.

Your opinion?

I'm okay with it when people don't use grammar but not when it's too much to handle and just plain annoying. For example, if people type lik this and hav a coupl errors or no punctuation and I'm able to understand it, I usually tolerate it. But when it's really hard to understand or doesn't even make sense, that's when it gets annoying and where I want to become a grammar nazi about it.

Also, I don't spell check on my posts, I would just look over it at most and see if anything seems wrong from there.

it really doesnt bother me if people have bad grammer/spelling if you can understand what they are trying to say. its more annoying when people get upset at them for it.

And i never knew there was a spell check, thanks for the heads up haha

My opinion is that everyone should have good grammar. I don't exactly have a reason but it's just annoying when people don't.

Thats what annoys me, you've corrected him even though we could understand what he meant, If thats your opinion to correct people then fair enough, its your opinion.
