You´re absolutely right! Like yeah, it´s annoying when someone is repeatedly correcting you with every sentence you say, but when someone just politely corrects you, it´s nice.
It still depends on how it's done, I guess, and to whom (did I correctly use "whom"? I hope so ^^). I, for instance, am a native French speaker, so it is really appreciated when someone corrects my mistakes in English, but when someone corrects my mistakes in French, I also really like it, because it makes me learn something about the language I speak and write everyday.
ya I totally agree wit all of u bad gramer is bad and people should stop'd using it on porpoise to annoy other people. liek srsly use the English write or don't use it at all. u should at least tri to use proper gramer even if on da intanet u don't hav to be perfect in the English but u should at least try.

I puked in my mouth a little bit. Also, I laughed way louder than I should have ^^
My brother and my family correct my speech all the time. Meanwhile I have a Masters degree in English Lit and am a published author. Them correcting me drives me up the fracking wall! I have a disability where my language centers are separate. Completely different parts of my brain control visual & written language while my verbal centers for hearing and speech light up differently in MRI's. And that part is damaged. It took me lots of time & speech therapy to pronounce words. I can read & write 3 languages but I can speak & hear in 2 with only one of those languages in common- English. I can even "turn off my eyes" (is the best way to describe it) and live like a blind person. I can write different sentences to what I'm saying and I can do it with both hands. Freaks people out at parties.

Well, if you have all these abilities, maybe you should just learn how to relax and not be pissed off when someone corrects you. You know you're better in English than the people who correct your speech, so, screw them, right? :)
U MUST ADD A PERIOD AT THE END OF EVERY SENTENCE OR ANE XCLAMATION MARK OR A QUESTION MARK!.?
OR you can learn something in the process, like how to properly speak your fucking language.
