Do you correct askers' spelling/grammar errors in your answer before you answer the question?
If you do, keep up the great work; somebody has got to do it!

I've done that a few times. I even got best answer for it! Last time I corrected someone's spelling was tonight... She misspelled the word twice! Thankfully she was not offended by it!
Thank you for an excellent suggestion. I will keep doing it!

Hi my Lady,
Sometimes I do, but not with all. Some people don't like being corrected all the time. Some even put it explicitly on Y!.
But I do it in an indirect way hoping that they would get the point.
Some others ask me for help. And I gladly do.
By the way English Language is my career and hobby is.
Since my being a member with Y!, I have been encountering two problems - one minor, the other major.
The minor one has to do with American slang. But I find it interesting as I have learnt a lot from those wonderful young people and their language; besides, I have had the great opportunity of getting acquainted with their life, with its good as well as bad sides.
The major one has to with the non-natives who make awful mistakes, sometimes I cannot even get their point.
I hope I haven't bothered you with this long reply.

No I am not, as long as I can guess what they meant I am good. I would never correct someone's grammar or spelling on here. People make mistakes, its not the end of the world if a word is misspelled.

whilst i replace into making waiting scholars for the the two the Cambridge and Michigan college cut back and information tests, consistancy indoors the compositions and oral interviews mattered exceedingly. Now the cut back levelled national tests have been all consistent with British English, so acceptable right here you have a pupil who has been gaining information of to spell a diverse some distance better than a minimum of a 5 one year era, and each and all the unpredicted they are expected to bear in mind each and every and all the modifications for the main mandatory tests of all. Cambridge college replace into better strict in marking the modifications than Michigan replace into, besides the undeniable fact that the Cambridge tests are better theory-based, and the Michigan spotlight an ease with use indoors the 2nd language. the better moderen London college tests are hit or bypass over, spelling would not even count huge type huge type if it would not get rid of from the understand-how of what has been written. to respond on your question, it is going the two concepts...yet you're amazing to be aggravated at being corrected by way of skill of folk who don't understand there are a effortless quantity of modifications between the two languages (British and American English) and that the two are maximum amazing. as right now as I see questions or concepts i can fairly understand because of the certainty of spelling errors, it makes my skin flow slowly, yet i attempt to bear in mind this may well be a guy or woman who maintains to be indoors the skill of gaining information of English...the only forgivable excuse. and a few human beings have been by way of no skill able to better effective their guidance and/or by way of no skill mandatory to jot down lots indoors the roles they have had over the years, i do no longer concepts their making errors, the two...that is comprehensible. So are type-o's. some peple are only severe dickwads, yaknows? Reall hi and mitey and think of of there heat shite an all dat, and each individual else shud be and look and fragrance and communicate and write only like'em...

This is why God created spell check. If they have Mozilla Firefox Browser they have two spell check besides the one here on Q&A. If they cared they would use one, if they don't care not my job to point it out.
I do very little for free and the things I do do would get me a violation if I described them here.
