tempted to correct

I feel the urge sometimes to correct people's grammar or spelling. I have to resist as I know it is rude. But.

I am not totally without fault as I did not realise for a long time that I need to be discreet rather than discrete.

Don't hold back. It's not rude, it's helpful. You go ahead and correct them as much as you like. They'll be so thankful - you'll be reaping the rewards in no time at all.

One of my friends corrected mine because he didn't want me to get abuse about it by the grammar police in here

I've made a few daft mistakes recently so I need to make myself stand in the corner.

We all make typos but when you can hardly make out a profile because it's written in text speak or phonetically then it's a big no-no for me.

Total snob I know. Lol

It seems that I must contend with bad grammar and those without a sense of humour.

If I can read it usually I let it ride unless its lazy typing or text speech then I just ignore them.

I sometimes take it as an indicator as to how quickly a thread will descend into insult, ironically.

At least forum regulars will appreciate your help. You may even get complimentary fab platinum plus membership for the rest of the decade if you also add an observation upon their veris grammar, spelling and content too.

If they make the same mistake twice I suggest the use of a cane on the bum

Id suggest the cane too, and maybe a period in the fab stocks, pants down, where anything - cane or otherwise - can be used on them. If their influence spreads to other users then they'd appear in the stocks at all fab get togethers. Users should largely hold back from correcting others as it's bad form and 2 wrongs dont make a right.

As long as I can understand it, then fine. This is not an English class on here. There are people from all walks of life on here. Some have had good childhoods and others lucked out. Sometimes things are incorrect. Who bloody cares.

Maybe you could create another profile just for this purpose. Then nobody (except us of course) would know it's you..

I know how he feels though. I (m) struggled with English language in school because of mild dyslexia. Spelling became a big issue for me and I struggled to learn how to do it correctly.

I now find many people genuinely do not know the difference between "there", "their" and "they're". They persistently put "of" instead of "have" when they say "should of known". It is not lazyness or text speak. They really do not know which is a sad indictment on education today.
