Only if they text type. I do not text so I do not understand the texting language. I can not answer a question that has been asked in 90% text.
The only other spelling I will correct is by a person who is well known for correcting other member's spelling.
I do not know the other members in public however. I only know them on cyber space.

These kids today are not rebels, they are uneducated. I blame lack of parenting, the government that tied the hands of teachers and all the electronic devices the kids run around with while they ignore studying and learning.
I didn’t know what to call the others members except “in public” I feel like we all know each other here.

No I don't, Itsmee.
I just try to make sure that my own spelling
is as free from errors as possible.
One thing I do change, however, is, when I'm
addressing someone here, even if their
name is presented in all lower case letters,
I like to capitalize the first letter. It was the
way I was taught, as a child, and some
habits die hard. :)

It wouldn't annoy me.
Capitalizing names is automatic
for me, same as God Bless You
for a sneeze. lol :)

In my advancing years my memory is eroding away like worn-out spark-plugs in an old truck. My declining language skills I have named “Yibberish” for the collective fandango of mixed metaphors, spelling is next to go.

Generally I don't worry, but (ashamedly) admit there is a staff at work I don't particularly care for, she got the job on her race, not merit and has proven to be incompetent, two faced and continually reports other staff over very minor issues, I find I correct not only her spelling, but her facts on policy and procedure and anything else I notice (oh, bad lamby!)

I corrected my housemate last night when he typed "alot" instead of "a lot". This one always bugs me....

I still, to this day, correct my own errors (edit) and look up the spelling of a word, knowing that I can improve. There is a lot to the study of language and many are simply not interested in learning it properly. I wonder why they do not think that it's important. Do I correct members here? Usually not unless they are "jokers" that I can tease, or, on the other hand, one of our "professional forum critics". Then, I may seize the opportunity. It's always enjoyable to "give back". :)

I hear you Ducky.
Personally, I think the English language is a beautiful thing and with all the texting and tweeting going on these days, who knows what will be lost?

I see many errors in spelling and grammar (at least what I think are errors). To correct someone who is a regular here, unless I was P.O. for some reason, is the last thing I would do.
Sometimes I correct spelling when the question or answer is offensive or inappropriate IN MY OPINION.
For myself, I edit myself when I see an error I've made, even if it is days later. I suppose I am OCD about this, but since I make mistakes, too, it's hard to call it "real" OCD. I'd never get anything done if I seriously had OCD about spelling and grammar.

I don’t know about grammar. I think it’s ok. I just want to relax here and not worry. I don’t think an editor is lurking. : )

No, not really. But, I do sometimes find myself feeling irked when I'm reading something that is spelled in an absolutely ridiculous way...as though someone was just too lazy to learn to spell correctly.
I guess I feel people should respect themselves enough to at least attempt to present what they are trying to convey in an intelligent manner. No one has to be perfect though.

Communicate is nothing else then exchange of ideas. To listen, talk, read, sighs and laughs.
The meaning of text is to freeze a thought to bring it over by another way then thinking or speaking. In fact reading the text generally lead to an idea of the meaning of the text and thats the goal of writing.
To correct the spelling of any text, one has to understand the meaning of it, otherwise its impossible to do it correct, so its strange to correct a spelling as the goal (to communicate) has to be reached before one can correct a spelling.
So whats the use of correcting?
Greetings ;).

It may or may not be true that you don’t spell well. (Makes no difference to me, you know)
Now the important thing is that you SMELL well. That’s swell...<3 <3
