Light-hearted question this time:
Are you a Grammar Nazi or a Spelling Police?
If so, why are you one, why do you care?
If someone makes an honest mistake, with obvious effort on their part, do you still point it out?
If you're not a Grammar Nazi or Spelling Police, have you been pointed out?
How well do you take to a correction?

This may offend some, but...
English is not my native language, but when I see people from US/UK not knowing the difference between
there
,
their
and
they're
... I don't see how can I not think that those people are stupid? It's your native language, guys, isn't anyone out there ashamed for being so illiterate?
I understand when people do not know the difference between
it's
and
its
, since some even write
he's
where
his
should stand, and it does have some logic behind it (although false one).
When it comes to spelling - use Firefox when writing on internet and solve your spelling problems, at least that is extremely easy.
When it comes to
leet speak
- that's pretending to sound cool among 12 year old kids either by not having spelling/grammar abilities or by losing them along the way.

I'm not really a grammar nazi, but when someone writes r
oug
e instead of r
ogu
e, I usually let them hear it. Loudly.

Yes, but only to such a degree that it just seems to mock the English language...
I am also riled up by the there/their/they're thing and your/you're.
