I've wondered about this a long while, actually. I don't have much of an opinion on it, other than correcting someone else's grammar is an unnecessary annoyance, but would you deem it strikeworthy flamebait?
Just wondering. |

I'm not sure if it's truly strike-worthy, but it does seem to cause a lot of flames. Maybe people hate being corrected? |

Correcting someone's grammar generally isn't flamebait.
Grammar Nazism, however, is repeated, and sometimes done in a very, very rude way, sometimes to the level of being a flame in itself.
Anyway, correcting someone's grammar IS pretty rude, unless the person seems to be asking for it (ie. "I hope I spelled that right", "Not sure about the spelling", etc.)... So, if you see people overreacting to it all of the time, consider it flamebait. |

This is about my post, isn't it?
I just felt really pissed off when I saw "right" used in the place of "write." :'D |

It's actually really annoying when people correct me. Usually I'm in a horrible mood, or really tired when I start making spelling mistakes, and people correcting me doesn't help at all. And if they do it in a rude way, then it gets me quiet angry.
Also, you could consider it spammy.

I know, I'm asking for a strike with this, but...It's spelled "quite."

If it's along the lines of "I think you mean <Correct spelling>", it's okay.
If it's something like "HOLY SHIT YOU *crag* IDIOT IT'S <Correct word>!!! OH LOL GO BACK TO MYSPACE YOU NOOB", I'd see it as strikeable. |
