I think it's funny.

You have to be pretty sure of yourself, that you're not making mistakes yourself, if you're going to point out those made by others.

I even started a thread about whether it matters, back in 2005.

I think some of the best posts I've ever read on here, have contained mistakes.

I believe it's more important what's actually meant. Not how it's said.

You can teach a monkey the rules of grammar, and spelling.

It's harder to get them to write a great work of literature.
