Angry Internet Spelling Police

Hi,

This will most likely irritate the 'spelling police', but...meh.

I don't understand why people feel the need to be corrective when it comes to spelling or grammatical errors on the internet. I haven't seen it here, partly due to the notorious red underline that indicates to the poster that the word is incorrect. I've seen it on virtually all other boards I visit. WHY?

Not everyone has a strength in spelling and/or grammar, and in my opinion it is inappropriate, rude, belittling and condescending to correct their misspelled words.

If I had to answer a science question, I would fail miserably, not to even broach the subject of math! I'm horrible with both.

Are people really that rude?

If you see a misspelled word, but know exactly what the poster was attempting to spell, why correct them? You know what they meant.
