I agree, Dave. Correcting grammar should be done in only a few situations.

1. Between parent and child
2. In the classroom
3. For a foreigner, who will truly be helped. I had a student asking me for the pattern for a "hand" recently. I taught her that the word is "potholder."

Here on the Mudcat, correcting is used mostly as a way to embarrass someone. Not nice.

This really strikes a chord

Applies to many posts on here too. Are you listening? You know who you are :-)
