>>I have learned that it's best not to correct anyone's grammar or spelling unless that person asks for it. My own rule (for me, that is) is that anyone who posts on this thread is asking for correction, so I cheerfully correct the mistakes if I find any, and I expect mine to be so corrected as well.

I too have adopted that practice. It's always better to refrain than to post. I just wanted to blow off some steam. Thanks Jack, you're alright.<g>

RE: When to Correct?

Another condition under which I feel it is acceptable to correct someone's grammar or spelling is when they've corrected someone else's and made a mistake of their own.
