What is more annoying – when people use bad grammar or when others correct them? Well, it depends on the situation, of course, but those of us who cringe when others make grammatical mistakes might enjoy this article from last Sunday’s New York Times.

i have bad grammar myself. despite the fact that i am an english major. it does bother me in poerson if somone corrects me unless they are obsseive about it.
I think it really depends on context, but gently saying something can work. In the article, someone mentions repeating back what the person except doing so correctly, but I find that many people don't even seem to notice when you do that.
