Like everything else, it depends on the situation and the person. Mostly I abstain from correcting people.
I have a wonderful friend I met through roleplay when I played Everquest 2. She was the first friend I made in the roleplaying community in that game, and several years later, we're still the best of friends. She's absolutely wonderful. She's highly intelligent. She's so much fun to be around and is like a little ray of sunshine across your screen.
She can't write worth a shit though. Spelling errors galore. Grammatical errors everywhere. It's an English teacher's worst nightmare.
But I muscle through it. She's self-conscious about her writing but she really does try. She's abstained from forum RP for a long time because people would send her nasty messages about her writing. When she did get involved with arcs on forums, she would ask me to proof read her writing.
Naturally, I don't correct her unless she asks, or if I need clarification in our roleplay. I know how hard she tries, and the fact she can weave a wonderful story and make roleplay so much fun it should be a crime far outweighs the small annoyance of spelling errors.
If someone corrects me, though? I don't generally care.
