Sorry, it's just that I see this all the time, and it slightly bugs me.
Some of us never took english classes you know and just learned it from using it, idd like to see how you do on your fourth language

Some of us never took english classes you know and just learned it from using it, idd like to see how you do on your fourth language Are you complaining that he's helping you with English by pointing out the distinction? If you make thee sorts of mistakes because English isn't your first language, that's fine, but why would you have a problem with someone informing you of how to use these words correctly?
If i wan't to use them correctly on a "forum" i would have taken a course, seeing i have not done so already means, i care very little about someone who cannot get past the then/than issue on a forum with people from all across the world.
Maybe he should get a checkup so he doesn't get more disorders as he gets older...

No one said you have to spell correctly, or that you have even care about it, he's just throwing the information out there. You don't need to react like your right to spell incorrectly is being threatened. Relax. Just because you don't want to doesn't mean the information won't be useful to someone else. Nothing about wanting to educate people implies he has a disorder. Nothing about getting slightly bugged by people being incorrect about something implies he has a disorder either, that's normal. You don't need to get hostile or start insulting, you're still free to be incorrect or ignorant.
Not bugged about it in the slightest, its just so he knows how i feel about it, like he wants to let us know how he feels about it on a forum.
So now he knows, case closed.
