In real life or in the internet. You like to pinpoint the wrong word then you like to comment what he said. More like, you're correcting between the "Your" and "You're" words. Even the Spellings...

Like, do I feel the urge to correct your terrible grammar on your OP title? Absolutely, but I assume it was done on purpose.

Yes. Native English speakers who can't write their own language properly are infuriating.

I don't really say anything unless it's just so bad that I can hardly read it.

It depends on how bad their sentences are.

I swear, if I see one more person say ''Your'' instead of ''Your'', I'll kill myself.

It depends, I don't care if it's clearly a misstype, but some sentences are just so bad that I cant let it pass, I have to correct them.

I used to. My intent in correcting someone's grammar has always been because I didn't want them making the same mistake in a formal setting or something.

but now it's like whatever mang you do you

Not unless if the person's mistake becomes repetitive and gets annoying, only then I would correct his grammar.
For example, whenever I play Gmod, people always yell at me and say "Get in me car!". Wtf is "Me car?". It's fucking "My car". Those kind of basic common mistakes always triggers me.

I don't normally do it but the subject matter made it an opportunity too good to pass up.

as someone who types without capital letters, i do not correct grammar based on that.
grammar in general, i do not correct people because i don't want to seem like a perfectionist.

No. I can't explain grammar myself. If I can understand what the other person means then who cares about correct grammar?

On the internet? No way. I don't always use proper grammar on the internet. In real life? Maybe. I will correct someone's grammar if I'm editing an essay or something like that.

I don't bother correcting anyone but whenever I see "then" instead of "than" (and vice versa) I die a little bit on the inside.

It really depends on the scenario. Sometimes I will point something out in a friendly way where it doesn't create any awkward moments. But, I'm not the type of guy who will always point out someone's grammar errors. Not to mention..I'm sure people could grill me on those when I'm being forced to write ten to twenty page essays heh.

That is not OCD unless you think something bad would happen, that you have to correct it. It is just being anal.

Eh not really. I know I am not perfect in that regard either, I also talk to a lot of non-native english speakers and sometimes they get it wrong too (though I find they mostly get it right lol).

If the idea and message is sound, the grammar honestly is an afternote.

Btw, now you are all watching your grammar in this thread, right? xD

I notice it very easily, however I do not really feel the need to correct them unless it is a continuous and obnoxious mistake.

For example, someone I know likes to write concider instead of consider and it kinda bugs me!

A pair of eyes appear disguised,
I take flight and stay high in paradise,
With bad luck, snake eyes, a pair of dice.
I'm paralyzed, she speaks twice, a pair of lies,
It's parallel, apparent hell of parasites.
