:::::: The problem I see with correcting user's posts is, where do you stop? They don't just make spelling errors, but punctuation and grammar errors too, and sometimes use sentence fragments, run-on sentences, etc. etc. Are you going to correct all of them too? What if what they are saying is ambiguous? Do you also reword it to make it clear? But if it's ambiguous, how do you know exactly what they meant? In an article, if it's not clear, you can reword it so that it is clear, and if it's not what the original author meant, that doesn't matter, because the article is meant to be a joint effort, not one particular editor's work. But their talk-page posts ''are'' their own work, and it should be ''their'' work, not a joint effort with them writing and you correcting. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J.
