While Bob may not be known for his interpersonal skills here, I don't think he was out of line whatsoever on this thread.
Somewhere along the way, it became "rude" to correct people. The problem with that is, the whole point of correcting people is to make a change for the better. If you stay silent, you can't make a change, and the error just plain continues. Meanwhile, writing skills erode in the online world (a world that's not going away).
Bob was trying to be helpful, simulataneously in two different areas. Let's leave it at that.
