I handle that on a case by case basis. Every person is going to have different feelings on the matter. Some people like to be corrected. It helps them improve. Other people see it as an attack on them, their writing, or their RP. Generally, unless the person in question has either directly asked to be corrected or has otherwise shown to be open to such, I won't publicly make any corrections unless the writing it at a point where I cannot understand what is going on. We have a fair amount of ESL players.

But when I see Miquo'te and Ishguard for the billionth time, I'll usually let the person know regardless. No excuses for things that are literally spelled out in the game if it's happening consistently.
