An attempt that failed, and I don't think it's the style of most grammar Nazis to do that. It just makes no sense to me to correct the spelling of someone else in basically any situation. 99% of the time it's obvious what they were trying to say, so don't be an English teacher about it.

Point being, people who correct grammar and spelling are assnapkins.
That's happens to me before when I make spelling mistakes. It seems people here on MB like to correct my spelling or/and grammar. I think there are times when it's done the person is being pretentious and they e-peening of their knowledge of the spelling skills, writing skills or English language in general. Sometimes it's done tongue in cheek. (The "N" in Nazis btw should be copatilized, well at least according to that "ass napkin" spell-check thing.)

(If you are trying to get under each other skin, maybe you like each other.)
