I tell them that they're rude for correcting people's spelling, punctuation, and grammar when those individuals didn't ask for their help. They usually tell me that I was wrong for typing lay down instead of lie down. Then I tell them that two things can be true at the same time. I made an error, and they're also rude.
@Chris00987 I totally understand. One thing that I’ve often seen is where people don’t recognize differences between UK and U.S. English and make a point of "correcting" spellings and/or pronunciations, because of their ignorance, not the poster’s. 🙁

No i make sure to spell everything wrong from yhat point on!
When grammar isn’t the forum topic, not terribly. The schools need grammar instructors, so they’re wasting their time on SW when they could actually be helping someone who needs it. 🧐
