My grammar is horrible but it is getting better. I often struggle with the improper use of their, there and they're amongst many other misuses of punctuation etc. I notice it when others use improper grammar, then and than but I would only ever point this out if somehow it changed the perception/meaning of the post. That said, people have pointed out some of my errors on Hubski and I've never been upset about it, I appreciate it but only when it is communicated out of positivity. I could see this "grammar highlighting" as a way for some people to be jerks.

Bottom line: In a forum like Hubski, if you understand what the person is trying to communicate, who cares?
