1.

Answer 2

I did, because it was part of my job and outside of my job, I was often requested to do so.

By now, it may happen sometimes, especially in case of confusing or funny errors.

Answer 3

There is someone who does that to me often, so I'm not wasting even more time doing it to others.

Answer 4

No I never do that and also I do grammar mistakes probably several times when I write in English since it isn´t my first langauge.

I get overly pissed off, when I notice (even more over, when somebody points a finger at it) a problem with my grammar. I'm a bloody Finn and I'm supposed to make "random errors", since this is not my first language, but come on. English is the easiest language in the world. It's easier than my own language, which is really, really difficult to cope with completely.

Nevertheless, I do find English so simple, that the American users should know it. If they don't, they will get ridiculed by me, for obvious reasons.

Answer 5

My grammer isnt good either.

Same

Answer 6

I'm a bloody Finn. This is the easiest language in the world.

Why not to... Embrace it and write it properly?!!!

Comments

I thought English was the hardest language in the world, which is ironic really as it is the only language I know. 

Answer 7

But only in my head.  And yes, I do judge a person's intelligence based on their grammar usage.  I do allow for typos and non-English speakers, but when someone who is supposedly fluent consistently uses the wrong words, I judge them as being less intelligent and I give less weight to their opinions and statements.

Answer 8

Not really. I would see the vice-versa happen to me as my grammar and spelling isn't the greatest.
