• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

When not to correct people's grammar...

Oh yes, I know this feeling. My hubby is dyslexic and often gets confused with spelling and the like, but unless he asks, I don't pick up on it. I think he'd feel I was being condescending or belittling him in some way, so I leave him to seek my advice.
 
When I was in college I once had a teacher write on a essay - Be careful of your flow of grammer - would make it easier to read.
 
There have been times when I'm arguing with someone and they'll say something grammatically incorrect, and I'll bite my tongue (literally) to not correct them. It's a burden being a Grammar Nazi.
