I am very concerned about grammatical minutiae, but I restrain myself. I could easily write a short article about the use of "number" vs. "amount" though. It is my current grammatical soapbox. Or "fewer" vs. "less." These are grammatical errors people make constantly. However, I appreciate that no one cares for being corrected, especially in terms of grammar and spelling, and if I'm disagreeing with someone, what they are trying to say is much more important than the little errors they may make while conveying their point. It distracts from an argument to focus on spelling.
