I'm all for playing with language and having fun with corruptions, puns, spoonerisms, intentionally transposing letters and words for humorous intent.

I correct only my children, but occasionally I'll help out a friend so he or she doesn't sound ignant when they don't want to.

Maybe because my parents died in the apostrophe mines, punctuation is a bit of a sore point for me. Grammar, less so.

I tell my kids not to use big words that they don't understand just because they think it makes them sound more photosynthesis; it doesn't.
