To walk around slurring your speech or misusing words or saying "ax" versus "ask" makes the person look like a moron.
I think if more people were honest, they would agree with what I'm saying. There is a reason that some people don't amount to much...and one way to ensure that is to continue to speak and write poorly.
I have thrown out many a resume for typos and I've refused to hire people because of their grammar in an interview...so to answer your question again-I would most definitely correct this person face to face too.

WOW! Me thinks somebody needs to learn how to effectively coach, counsel and help people - that's a part of the forum, not to belittle and chastise its members. If you have an issue with the quality of today's job applicants, then you need to deal with it at work and not somehow make it an issue here! (Although as the Director of HR for a large international corporation if you were part of our interview team and talked to an applicant like that you'd be warned and if it continued, terminated).
Your superior attitude and comment about why "people don't amount to much" when someone asks for our help is over the top. It’s sad that you believe that everyone comes into this world with a perfect mind and all of life's opportunities just waiting for them to grab and run with, but they choose to be less than perfect. We must all be born with IQs of 180+, have two loving parents that teach us everything we need to know to succeed in life, and every lucky break is just around the corner. But then we blow it – it’s just that simple! Throw it all away just to be cool, etc. You nailed it! Thanks!
I guess there's no accounting for poor spellers with poor grammar to be superior at the things that matter in life. Things like caring for your sick and elderly parents or grandparents in a nursing home? Cleaning up after you at the restaurant? Or write the music you love to hear? Fix your car? Or a thousand other occupations that don't require what you think is so important, or jobs you probably don't even know exist because you're living so far up in the clouds? It must be difficult for you to live in a world of mere mortals who can never live up to your standards.
Go in peace, my child - for you, life must be terribly frustrating and people in general, terribly irritating.
And so my advice to you is
Yo, chill bro!
