It is so true..every time I see people using certain words incorrectly, I can't help but mentally correct them. There are times when we miss out a comma here and there or misspell a word...but some people really don't know how to use punctuation and frame a grammatically correct sentence. Also, they never attempt to learn the correct usage either.

Grammatical mistakes are very common not only in Indians. But everywhere , where English is not the mother tongue One of the reasons is invasion of inter net. The usage of THERE instead of THEIR is a mistake which is rampant in the web lingo

True..but if you try to correct anyone..they get offended..i would be happy if someone corrects me so that I will not repeat the same mistake.

True. If some gets offended who is the loser?
I attempt to be grammatically correct but nobody is infallible. I may also make mistakes in spelling or punctuation. When I come to know, I also correct. If some oe points out my mistake, I shall feel grateful. .
People like you who accept mistakes are very few. Many frown at the person, who points out a mistake. I agree with you nobody is infallible.

Yes, true as humans we all tend to make mistakes...to err is human..but accepting a mistake and making an attempt to learn from it is practiced by few people.

Learning is a continuous process. There is no end for learning . All those greats learned . Because hearing is their virtue. Admitting mistakes and correcting themselves is their principal virtue.

Completely true..learning never ends..it goes on..we always have room for more, and we can go on adding to our knowledge. I feel owning up one's mistake upfront is better than people talking at your back and making fun of you.

Such people will become butts of laughter. None will take them seriously.
In India, it is because people have to learn more than one language, one first have to learn his local language, then has to learn HIndi and then English and other languages. People mix up all the languages and the new mixture becomes funny.
That's one of the reasons. But by learning seriously, one can avoid reasonably correct English. The thread is about grammar mistakes.

What you are describing here is called as code mixing..but the thread is about using correct English grammar.

It is how people mix up certain words, and how a misplaced comma can create and convey a wrong meaning. For example as given in the thread-- Let us eat grandma v/s let us eat, grandma.

Linguists call it as Comma Vomit. That's misplacing the commas. And its a grave mistake. meanings will change drastically.

Yes,a misplaced comma can make any sentence ambiguous and difficult to understand.

Another is failing to the subtle difference between words. Like effect and affect.
This is perhaps the most discussed topic in Indian Hinglish websites. No US or British site gives it a dime because they make as many or more mistakes.
US or Queen's English mistakes are there and will be there. Because the linguists opined, conveying the thought is more important than the grammar. In this respect US English is more liberal. "I dunno is an example."

We are more particular about correct English because this is not our mother tongue or first language. But we do not mind mistakes in Hindi or other local languages. Similarly, the British and Americans do not care about incorrect English.
