It's not humiliation it's derailing a whole thread over a damn comma.

You have two different ideas in your sentence without an appropriate conjunction! I think you should use one of those "damn commas" or maybe a semicolon.

Seriously, if you understand what the person is saying, there is absolutely no need to correct them. It's just annoying.

There’s nothing wrong with correcting someones grammar the problem is the way you do it. Like I said a pvt msg would be the right way to do it and not by humiliating him in public where everyone can see it.

I'd be sending a hell of a lot more PMs than I'd want to.

But how will you hammer it into their heads that bad grammar is bad form?

I think that would be more productive to the community than your constant negative posts.
The other day I was wondering why Talon was so mean and I thought maybe she didn’t have friends. So being the nice guy that I am I went ahead and got you a gift. I got you a pretty hand bag in appreciation of our future friendship.

you tell them Doc
you will be getting a rep once i figure out how to do it :D

a private msg to correct grammar would be more appropriate than public humiliation

i dont find it humiliating...
(and to add rep you hit the little red heart at the end of a post)

As a long-time grammar vigilante, I appreciate it when people correct my grammar or spelling for me.

That’s because everyone likes you and if they correct you its in a polite manner. Even I like you and I don’t know you. (the real life noob costume was pretty epic)
