Anywho, the whole thing of offering corrections....it's all in how it's done.
If I'm a dick about it or or seem like I'm trying to look smart or put others down over innocent mistakes, it's called grammar copping or being a grammar nazi. Who has time? We're typing on tiny phone keyboards here.
If it's presented as just for fun, or "for anyone who may happen to care", or as "nocop" (mere word info without judgment or sternness) then the intelligent people who frequent this site are normally very positive, open, and keen to learn fun new facts about their favorite language.
I usually don't edit email or message board text I write, so there are errors in my stuff on here as well. So what? :)
Russia is NOT our enemy, the US Government is. (FIXED)
Could you edit that? I think you may be missing a comma after enemy and the word "is" at the end
Semicolon; but these are minor details. :)

I knew you were my favorite for a reason.
Cheers, Rooks!
