If you can't for the life of you understand them then just ask if they could repeat it better spelled or something in /tells.
 
Not all people are as adept at language (or care enough to type it correctly). Just pay it no mind. Because pretty sure if you try to correct them 7/10 times you'll never see them bother you again.


This. If you understood what they wrote, how in the world does it matter? There's no need to correct someone other than some vague satisfaction that you caught an error they didn't. Readability I do think is important too though. Like Septha said, break up your sentences. That's it though.

The only time I feel it is appropriate is if that RPer is looking for feedback.
