correcting word usage
My question: Is it rude to correct someone who uses a word incorrectly if they made the mistake while giving a compliment? I sent my boyfriend an e-mail. I concluded the e-mail with "Your Hot" signed by my name. My boyfriend responded to the e-mail. He concluded his response by italicizing "You're Hot" signed by his name. At first I thought he was emphasizing how he thought that I was the one who was truly hot in the relationship until I realized he was pointing out to me that I had misused the word "Your."

nah, i dont think its rude, i think he might have been trying to be funny but it just got to you. Tell him you thought it was rude and see what his response is. i mean, i use the wrong grammer and spelling all the time, not on purpose or anything but by accident, and yes, it annoys me soo much when people correct me. its like, get over it .. you kno?
hope this helps

Seems a little picky to me. Some are just like that though. Maybe he will be a good English teacher one day. I don't think I'd get to bent out of shape about it unless it becomes a big habit. Maybe you could mention that you noticed it and ask him if hes a little anal about that sort of thing! Tell him you're a little leery of sending more email. Kinda joke about it and see if hes serious or just goofing around with you. :)

I dont mean to be one of those mean guys. That said, if you really sit around thinking about it he's probly not the best fit for you.

It's not rude at all. I believe that people should know the correct tense and usage of words especially if they're are older than 10.

Eh. This is moRe of an opinion question, Really. I guess it all depends on how you look at it. If you coRRect the eRRoR.. it could upset them, oR piss them off. HoweveR, you'Re tRuly only doing them a favoR... coRRecting theiR mistake in hopes they won't do it again. Honestly, I'm BIG on gRammaR, and I coRRect people all the time... but maybe that's just me?? :]

Well, if you were correcting someone you didn't know, I'd think it was a tad bit odd, maybe rude, but I'm sure he wasn't trying to be rude; he was probably just joking around. I do that all the time to my boyfriend as a little joke (he hates English grammar. I'm a grammar Nazi), and he doesn't mind. If it really bothers you, tell him about it. Just don't let it get to you, ok?
Ask me if you've got any more questions. I'll be glad to help!
