I feel it is worth the effort.

Ummmm,,,,,,,,,,, OK! Like I said whatever makes you happy. You "busted" someone for it. Good for you. An internet pat on the back to you. Those may bug me, but that's my problem. I don't expect people to suddenly change or alter there lives because one little thing bugs
ME. Therefore I don't feel the need to correct them, seems a little arrogant IMO.
If you consider "busting" and correcting EVERY single thing like that in EVERY post in EVERY thread maybe you'll better understand my "pissin' in the wind" comment. Do you really think that all of these people will suddenly acquire the determination to change their ways after all their lives and become spelling and grammar experts just because YOU called them out? "Well I've always had poor grammar, but PalmerGA called me out so I've got to study up." Ever heard the saying "Don't sweat the small stuff?
