I think we are talking about two different things. A thread about grammar and language is by definition a discussion about that topic presumably for those who are interested in the art and mechanics of the language.
Correcting another's post outside of such a thread is a different matter completely.
I admit I'm O-C about language, and had my own a-ha moment this weekend when I was thinking about something I had posted and realized I had used the wrong word! (Maybe this belongs in "You know you spend too much time in the Cellar when..." thread.) I try not to jump on others, though, unless they're jerks and I feel like screwing with them, or if the typo or error is just really funny in some way and I can't resist.
I am not even close to perfect either, but I do love the art and science of our language.
