So, what's the standard code of conduct when someone makes a grammatical error? I have to say, when people say something incorrectly, it bothers me a lot. Previously, I have included in my response to the post an explanation of what the person did wrong, what what they wrote actually means, and how the sentence should be constructed. This serves a couple purposes. First, it gives me peace of mind over the whole situation. Second, it teaches the people of the forum something useful. I know a lot of people on the internet don't really follow the nitty gritty rules ironed out by Strunk and White, but speaking correctly is not only important on a personal level, but on the whole for our community and country as well, so that communication is not hindered. It is important that you know what you are saying, and mean it when you say it. The Colloquium is, after all, about learning and the spread of knowledge, no? Well, grammar is another piece of knowledge that is in need of sharing.
In the past, however, people have gotten very annoyed with me, fed up with my version of OCD. Perhaps somewhere you could set up a thread meant just for posting grammatical grievances from around the forum. It doesn't even have to be very specific (ex: Somebody said "other's" when they clearly meant "others," because the sentence only made sense if it was plural, not possessive). Any grammar lover could post there, too, not just me.
