Corrections

[Excited Penguin]

Some of us make a lot of typing mistakes for a bunch of reasons. Some of us don't speak english as a first language, maybe, and don't even reside in a country of english speakers, perhaps. I made this thread so we could correct one another's mistakes be they minor, major, grammatical, or of whatever kind, whenever we encounter them and wish for the speaker to achieve greater literacy.
I'm aware some of us may actually know the difference(may aknowledge their own errors, otherwise said), but then, some might not, and so I don't see why that should hinder this kind of endeavour. Besides, those of us who constantly make the same mistakes, can't possibly maintain that they do it out of oversight or for some other reason.


I hope you'll like my idea and if you do, here's some guidelines:

• Press the Find button on a post to find it and link it along with your correction on it, or just link the whole page where you find said post.
  
•  Quote only the parts you find problematic and correct them. You may use the hide formatting for larger content, like so: 
  
  

  ---

   use this same exact phrasing but without the parentheses enclosing on the slash and the word 'hide' and thus disrupting the formatting -(/), (hide)-: [(hide)]this message is hidden[(/)hide]

  ---

  
  
• Never be rude about it out of the blue(without even allowing for the person you're correcting to respond).
  

This stuff may be obvious to some of you, but then again, I'm not exactly trying to preach to the choir here, but rather to the sheep(excuse the punny underlying metaphor).

You don't have to respect my definition of what might constitute a mistake, but try to make sense when you're correcting somebody, and be constructive in doing so.

Um, what?
