It's "affect", not "effect".
why do some people feel that it gives them a leg up, or makes them feel like a some online scholar, because they can correct an insignificant grammar mistake from a person who they might disagree with on a certain subject. i'm pretty sure everyone knew what was meant, so try not to be so petty.
I totally agree. It's petty. I rarely make spelling errors myself, but I find it highly annoying to read someone correcting one single misspell or typo.
I have also wondered why, Oli, you only choose a select few to drop your grammatical ruler on? I come across spelling and grammatical errors constantly on here, but you choose to overlook those. For example, reading XDCX's post above, he typed "seperation". It caught my eye, did it not catch yours? There are a couple others on here, part of the "over 25,000 post crowd" that constantly misspell words and misuse grammar. You dont catch those either?
