Is it rude to flaunt our talent?

As court reporters, we're great when it comes to grammer and punctuation and spelling and we always continue to get better.  We always pick up on misprints, but do you think it is rude for us to correct other people's grammer?  That is, anybody who we're not teaching or trying to train.

I never correct a friend or family member's grammar.  That's rude in my mind.  I have, however, written to a local newspaper before when the headline said something like "Lottery Winners Recieved $1 million.  Their going to retire!"  That drives me crazy, because they're supposed to be professional journalists, and grammar should be as important to them as it is to Court Reporters.

If you are referring to outside of court reporting and just engaging in conversation, I don't correct someone's grammar.

I usually don't correct someone's grammar, but as a reporter, seeing words that are spelled wrong, or incorrect use of punctuation, drives me insane, and I want to correct them, but I don't want to be rude either ;)

Plus, I am not perfect!

Hello.

A couple of helpful hints offered in a spirit of friendship:

Reporters who are great at grammar are typically aware of how to properly spell "grammar."

Reporters who are great at punctuation (or who aspire to be, as you clearly do) would insert a comma before "and we always continue to get better."

Hello, Amandacat.

Either you misunderstood or your boss needs to educate him- or herself on proper English punctuation.

 "As court reporters, we're great when it comes to grammer [sic] and punctuation and spelling and we always continue to get better. 

The above example, with no comma before "and we always," is incorrect -- this time, next time, and every time.
