I constantly catch myself noticing spelling and punctuation errors in texts. My inner teacher immediately kicks in, grumbling in a nasty voice, 'Actually, that word is spelled with an 'e', not an 'i'' and so on. Of course, I don't have a perfect command of the great and powerful Russian language, and I make mistakes myself, both in spelling and especially in punctuation. But I'm smart enough not to show off my inner teacher, and I never correct other people. I know that "teachers" occasionally pop up here on the forum, pointing out mistakes in the comments. How are you with this? Do you have an inner teacher or some other expert who just can't stand imperfections in their professional environment? Or are you healthy and don't care about the imperfections of the world and people around you? )))
Had a chat with a friend today and we realized that moms have different views on vaccinations. I vac…

I'm a teacher, and I hate mistakes. But I keep quiet

It doesn't matter, the main thing is that it's understandable)))

Anna I'm the same way!
And our silence, by the way, immediately creates a risk of neurosis.
As psychologists teach, you need to talk things out :)))

Ugh, spelling mistakes really annoy me. I try to keep quiet because, sadly, most people just don't care about grammar... (((

KATUXA Most people, yes, unfortunately, don't care.
I still get so worked up about the "dress code" in theaters.
Last time at the Mikhailovsky Theater, I saw half the audience in jeans and sneakers 🤦🏼️🤦🏼️🤦🏼️
It's so beautiful there, how can you possibly come in jeans?!

At the Baltic House theater, right after the intermission, we heard the sound of an open beer can in 5 seconds of silence.
I thought I was going to explode.

There are mistakes you can 'tolerate'
but there are some that make your eyes bleed:
'pediattrition'
'the baby vomited'
'the baby laid'
and so on))

I'm someone who makes mistakes when I write. But I often notice others' mistakes too (not always). I don't point them out, though, unless I'm in a really foul mood.

I'm a teacher by profession. If things are really messed up, I'll fix them. But I'll try to be gentle. First, I don't always get punctuation right myself. Second, people can just make typos. Third, we all forget things sometimes.

Well, you're the exception, so you can )) since you don't use Russian in your daily life.

Olya For some reason, your examples reminded me of when I told my grandma as a child, "The cat has stitches" instead of "The cat has fleas."

Well, that's not an excuse. It's better to read some classics instead of the forum 🤷️ but hey, that's how it is.

KATUXA Teenagers are different, by the way. At least the ones I meet are.
To be fair, I have to admit that I swore like a sailor with my friends when I was a teenager.
And sometimes it still gets the better of me now, to be honest.

Everyone should read the classics more often.
Just last night before bed, I was thinking with my phone in hand that it would be better if it were a book, not a phone (((

Ruzanna I have a deep respect for language and literature... but I have gaps, alas. I didn't really have Russian in middle school. My love for reading gave me basic literacy :) But I have to keep up all the time 🤷️

KATUXA I lived near schools for half my life, and believe me, kids always swear – my generation, yours, our parents'. It's not related to degradation. But artificial intelligence… that scares me. Our education system.

You seem to have a way of conveying your dignity even through the internet :)
