I think I’ve seen more spelling errors on signs and posters at my university than I did at the community college I went to. That’s discouraging, haha.
Semi-related question: When you see a grammatical error on Facebook, Tumblr, or out in real life, do you correct the culprit or just leave it alone?

Corrections are absolutely necessary. The more humor (or sarcasm) the better!
sculptwips answered:
It depends on what kind of mood they’re in. It also depends on how often I’ve corrected them. If it’s the same mistake, I won’t bother.
reademmaduh answered:
depends on who it is and what the circumstances are. closefriend/relative: correct immediately. fb friend: facepalm most of the time.

man, during orientation at my university there was signs pointing the first years to their programs… two huge signs that said HEATH SCIENCE

Leave it. :) One of the beauties of grammar is that it changes. If enough people make a grammatical error, it’ll eventually be the norm.

I agree with webula.

I screen cap it and post it on my anonymous blog :)
deliriousdreamer answered:
If it’s someone I know well, I’ll correct them. If it’s someone else, I cringe to myself and try and ignore it :).

It depends on how well I know them.

Recently realized that grammatical errors have a lot to do with class&privilege and am hesistant to correct anyone except my editor.
mypatronusisatwinkie answered:
I just leave it alone. People tend to get pissed, in my experience, when I correct them.
classiestdisaster answered:
I call them out, unless they are a complete stranger. In that case, I just cry on the inside.
lxwiseman answered:
I correct it every time
tigerbeauty answered:
Correct it in my head, but I don’t confront them.
ce-monde-petit answered:
I always mentally correct it, and sometimes tell them. It depends on the person.
