Do you think it's rude to correct another's grammar?



Recommended Posts

Apparently. I don't get it, though. We've definitely disagreed with each other in the past (almost violently, in fact, in a couple of cases). ...

That's only because you were WRONG! And you just wouldn't admit it!

Ok, why are you dragging my name into this? No, I was not discussing you in particular when I said it was rude to correct someone. I don't remember you correcting my grammar on the other post, so I'm not understanding where you are coming from? I thought we agreed to disagree and let it be? Sheesh, some people just can't let things go...

My apologies. I thought the topic you were discussing was people agreeing with one another just because they are friends.

No, I rarely correct anyone and their grammar. Holy crap I'm the LAST one that should be doing that. Although I did get frustrated for a bit and had something in my sig line regarding loose and lose. It wasn't directed at any one person but about 50% of the forum. Or so it seemed.

:) Um, possibly? In certain cases, anyway.

Nonono... anytime anyone disagrees with me then obviously, they are wrong. HA!

I know we've disagreed but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. Do you?

I remember that we've disagreed over the surgeon's forcing patients to pre-pay the portion insurance doesn't pay, and I THINK we disagreed in the smoking ban thread (pretty sure it was you that I argued with, anyway, I know I argued with someone). I KNOW we've disagreed more than that, but I don't remember the rest of the threads.

No problem. I would never agree with someone just because they were my friend. But I might be a little more considerate to them when I disagree. The only one I FORCE myself to agree with is my MIL...just for the sake of peace.:)

"If you really want to hurt your parents, and you don’t have the nerve to be a homosexual, the least you can do is go into the arts. But do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites, standing for absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college." - Kurt Vonnegut

My two cents: I trained as an English teacher many years back, so sometimes it is a real effort not to reach for the red pen when reading some posts. I do try to restrain myself at most times, as I agree that it can be rude and condescending when giving unasked for advice. The big exception that I make to that rule is when someone is calling someone else "stupid" or similar, in a debating forum, and uses poor spelling and grammar in their insults. I figure that make them fair game and take great delight in pointing out their errors then! :heh:

i think its intensely rude. I dont think there is a justification that makes it less rude or arrogant.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
