Remember one AGW denier, who couldn't spell & her diction often went astray. Three or four times, she would have eight or so errors in short posts. I just pointed out her errors. Didn't try to correct her errors. Didn't care to correct her errors. As time past, she became incomprehensible. I just pointed out her errors. Didn't try to correct her errors. Didn't care to correct her errors.

I'm happiest when AGW deniers don't learn. I am happy to report that AGW deniers are less scientific than 15 years ago, becoming very "don'T rump"-like. I am very happy on this website. I am litesong.
I would argue they are not necessarily errors. The point of writing is to convey a thought. If you knew what the thought was, hence had the ability to "correct" it, then the writing was successful. I can't believe how much school time is wasted on such pursuits. Now that we have a dyslexic daughter I'm more than just annoyed at the wasted time, but downright angry at the shaming that goes along with "just pointing out errors". Do you go into the back community and point out the errors of their dialect? The only purpose of doing it on a forum like this is in an attempt to belittle the other person or make yourself feel better about your own failures and struggles.
