I didn't say there was an issue with the mistake, I was just pointing it out for future reference. Come on guys, it wasn't a personal attack, or at negative at all. I was confused, I wanted to let her know. If you think it's stupid, then fine, but I've never been in a situation where it was some how bad at all to correct a mistake in language.
EDIT: Let me explain myself this way;
I'm learning French, and yesterday I got my first quiz of the new school semester back. The only mistake I made was typing out "Comment vas-tu?" as "Comment va-tu?" I got 1.5% off the total grade of the quiz for it. It's an almost superficial mistake that cost me a 100% grade, and extremely irritating. One thing is for damn sure, I'll never write out "Comment vas-tu?" wrong ever again. I know this isn't a school and we're not being graded, but this is an international message board in which the main language is English. We should help each other communicate if we can. I didn't correct her in a mean way, and if it some how reads condescending or negative, that is mistake and was not my intention at all.
