Which is why I don't normally comment on such things. Instead, if I see
that the message came from someplace where English is at best a second
language, I cut them extra slack. And, please note, this tempest in a
tea pot didn't start because I corrected somebody, it started when I
replied to a poster's self-correction with a friendly suggestion about
how to avoid similar mistakes in the future. If the OP hadn't corrected
himself I would have just let the error go by without comment, the same
way I do with other errors.
