    Hello,
    What's with people on the Internet and games correcting others on their grammar and spelling? It's the Internet for God's sake, not grammar or spelling class in school. It's understandable when it's obvious someone spelled or used grammar horribly (E.G: hai der i flacko?), but people are correcting others and making a big deal on such a tiny mistake like misspelling one word when they wrote a whole paragraph. Does every form of a sentence have to be so perfect, with its punctuation, spelling, etc especially when it's on the Internet and the Minecraft server chat? I've seen so many twelve year olds correcting others on grammar & spelling in chat and on the forums here, trying to impress everyone else on how well they know their grammar. Please stop, you're nowhere perfect to be correcting people on grammar & spelling as if you've never made a grammatical and spelling error in your life, and you're also not cool trying to impress everyone else by correcting others. Thanks for reading.

    This thread is hurting my head, must refuse the urge to correct the bad spelling and grammar.

    I can be one of those people if I want, I'm entitled to my own opinion. Therefore I should rate it disagree, not dislike.

    What is wrong with correcting people on their spelling and grammar errors? If they never knew how to spell a word, and you corrected them, then are you not teaching them?

    Yes true, but people are giving others a hard time on their spelling & grammar, not in any form of teaching them. Also does grammar and spelling really matter in Minecraft chats? Because people use comebacks & insults on there based on that person's grammar & spelling and it's just annoying...

    Well, spelling and grammar doesn't really matter, but that's besides the point, it's still needed in life.

    Just 'cause it's needed doesn't make it your place or anyone else's to continuously correct people
