Is this based on the study that people who conduct studies are jerks. :P

It depends on how bad the typo's are. If its the old your you're youre then there is a 95% chance they are jerks.

If it is a grammar issue then this drops to about 80-85% chance of jerkdom.

If it is an issue of punctuation then there is a 2000% chance the person doing the correcting is a complete wanker.

    If someone is correcting you when it is your second language then they should be more careful with their phrasing. If they are not, then they are more than likely to be a jerk. For example:

    What about the issue of second language?

    This could be rephrased as What about the second language issue? which is an incredibly complicated/academic way of speaking. If someone were to tell you to talk/type like that, then they are probably a jerk.

    You are missing a comma after morons and also need a secondary subject to separate those who cant spell from those who cant spell AND then complain about people correcting them. I've inserted an adjective to ensure there is no misunderstanding. Also added full stop at the end of your post.

    People who can't spell or form sentences are morons, but those who then bitch about corrections are the biggest morons. Check your own work.

    [INSERT MASSIVE TROLLFACE HERE]

    edit: I accidentally combined my comment with your post reply. Have separated it.

    Thanks for correcting me. You're not a nazi at all

    Thats odd. My YouTube license clearly states that I'm a Nazi. I'll have to get them to reassess it now.

      Actually....you dont really need to use a full stop when typing in a forum as nothing can be added to the end of the text without editing :)
