As as warning, I didn't read the whole thread, I'm terrible but I just wanted to chime in really quick!

I don't tend to correct the grammar of people I RP with, I don't know if I'd say it's rude if you do though. It's all about tone and intention! If someone WERE to correct my grammar I think I'd be ok with it so long as they phrased it in a way that wasn't mean, just a, 'hey you should have ordered it like this, or, that word should actually be' whatever. If you're nice, I think it's ok. But like some have said, it would be best done to people that you know. I personally don't do it but that's because I know that sometimes my grammar is terrible despite my best efforts and even taking courses on it. For some reason I will sometimes arrange my words in an order that doesn't make sense, and I know it as soon as I do it. More often than not though I comment on it myself so I do their job before they do.

As an aside, going back to words people use wrong, it ABSOLUTELY drives me INSANE when people use weary and they mean wary. I see it all the time. I don't even point it out but it makes me grit my teeth and flinch like someone smacked me. I don't know why.
