Don't correct grammar

[Eric the Red]

Barry Leiba, a technical researcher at IBM and author of the delightful blog "Staring At Empty Pages," said there are "exactly four" situations where it's all right to correct someone's grammar: (1) when you're an English teacher correcting a student, (2) when you're coaching a nonnative speaker who's asked for help, (3) when someone else has asked for coaching, or (4) when someone puts the equivalent of a "kick me" sign on her back.

Shouldn't that be a semicolon after correct someone's grammar? and instead of putting the numbers in parentheses isn't it better to spell them out; first, second, third and so on?

Yes, I know, eat sh*t and die..

Also...

(3) when someone else has asked for coaching...

The word "else" is redundant. Simply saying, "someone has asked for help" is correct.

Yeah, I know, ETR - "F#*k you and the horse you rode in on". So let me just remind you that it is ungrammatical to end a sentence with a proposition...

so by posting this, Eric really placed a "Kick Me" sign on his own back?

My God! It's Nicole! Figured she'd had some kind of weird bra accident and was incapacited from posting...

Oh, and to answer the question - it doesn't have be a her. It's just that broads yak so much that it's much more likely that they'll verbally pin a "kick me" sign on their own back.

Aren't you glad you asked?
