I thought that correcting spelling or grammar at all is ableist and condescending. If you can understand what they meant at all, then leave it alone. At least, that's what I get told.

I'm all for that until it comes to words like lose and loose. They're not even close to the same thing and I will call you out for it.

That being said I'm not gonna be a dick about it

Whoever says that is incorrect in general, though there are specific scenarios where it is needlessly discriminating and just wrong -- such as trying to correct dialects (think color/colour).
