@gar I see people trying to say "all of a sudden" and it comes out as "all the sudden" way too often. I just saw it again and felt the need to comment.

It bugs me too but is it really necessary to say something? Things like this only serve to embarrass not correct.

Huh. I always thought it was "the"! I learned something new today! So, do you feel shamed or enlightened? Personally if I was saying something incorrectly, I'd love for the Peas to tell me. JMHO of course.  |

I think people should want to know.
What is the purpose of WANTING to be wrong and having other people judge you for it? Why not choose to want to learn?

It isn't the end of the world. Especially on a mb on the Internet. This is not a thesis. Chances are if they say it on a message board, they say it in conversation. I stand by saying I'd want to be corrected. Better to be corrected on a message board where you are semi-anonymous than in person. |

It isn't the end of the world. Especially on a mb on the Internet. This is not a thesis. It's something I judge. Always have. I'm not likely to stop. The correct way comes automatically for me, so it's difficult for me to be sympathetic to people who don't use language correctly. It leads me to make assumptions. I truly can't comprehend not wanting to learn the correct way. It's being willfully ignorant. No one should choose that. |

I truly can't comprehend not wanting to learn the correct way. It's being willfully ignorant. No one should choose that. But assumptions are not always correct. I have a degree, I have a general understanding of the mechanics of the written language...but there are times that I don't get it right for whatever reason. Most of the time, I would chalk it up to me being old enough that I have forgotten what the rule is supposed to be, but it could be any number of things. That doesn't mean that I am not educated, nor does it mean that I am ignorant or that my thoughts and opinions don't matter. It would sadden me to think that I am being judged simply because my grammar got away from me. |

And I find it a waste of energy and makes you look worse than the so called awful grammar mistake. It just doesn't matter that much. I would rather be compassionate than right. Not everyone has the same background, education, etc. And call out threads are the worst. I have two degrees but grammar isn't my thing. Go on and keep judging. |

How does ME wanting to have MY mistakes corrected make me look bad? I don't actually correct people. I have a few friends who write things like "would of" instead of "would have" all the time, and I never correct them. But if I was making the mistake I would definitely want to be corrected - gently - rather than keep on making such an awful mistake. ETA: Now I see what you are reacting to - it was the (like me ) that made me come across as judgemental. But I stand by my main point, that *I* want to be corrected if I make a bad grammar mistake. |

It isn't the end of the world. Especially on a mb on the Internet. This is not a thesis. I tend to see two different types of people that like to correct. One does it in a kind and thoughtful way, often in private or in an 'I've made this mistake myself' style. The other appears to have a need to feel superior and seems to enjoy judging and/or putting others down so they tend to point it out publicly or loudly. |

You are right about that and there are several of the #2 type of people on this board.  |

JMHO of course. Enlightened. However, to my knowledge, I wasn't the one she was specifically calling out for using it incorrectly. Perhaps if I were being called out I would feel differently. (I don't think I would though. If I'm using something wrong on a message board, I'm probably using it wrong in real life. I'd much rather have you all correct me than go around saying it wrong all the time and have people in real life thinking I was an idiot!) |

I don't think people are being judged, just corrected. But correcting people is a delicate issue. For example, I didn't realize that a colleague of mine had dyslexia. We wrote grants together. I couldn't understand his writing style until after I was told of this condition. Be gentle in your approach. I'm a rule follower, so obvious, repeated and blatant errors drive me batty and I've learned to look away unless it affects my performance. But I will say that the OP's content drives me batty, too.

Agreeing with myshelly. I'd want to know. I'm an admitted wordie (not a word) and I was forever grateful when my stbxdh pointed out to me that the console in your car is pronounced console not council.
I recently returned the favor by informing him that you should never end a sentence with a preposition.
