It’s they way you present yourself. You come off as extremely rude and petty, albeit educated. You’re probably a decent enough person, but people on these boards just want to be heard and not lectured to about their writing skills. If you’re not already teaching, maybe you should give it a shot, but leave us cretins alone. The English language will survive a few misspelled words or forgotten punctuation.

That's a minority opinion, and pretty much, an under the belt ad hominem attack. Most folks around here appreciate my efforts to help others with their grammar faux pas. I've been doing it for years now, with only about one in twenty expressing a negative reaction to it.

I guess you're among that one in twenty, seeing how I never even corrected your grammar on this thread. Maybe you're still upset about some English teacher who invalidated you in the past.
