Always, brothas.
I have a rep to maintain. A rep for amending typos, that I post, here.

Yes. I try to catch all spelling and grammar mistakes before I hit "post reply" because I hate seeing "last edited by" on my posts.
The only time I let a mistake go is if I'm participating in a thread that updates constantly, like the Raw thread. Most replies in a thread like that are short reactions to what's happening on-screen, so I'm focusing more on getting my thoughts down than how they look.

Pretty much always, even if I posted days earlier. It just bothers me to see an easily avoidable and fixable mistake in my own posts. I love writing, I love linguistics and it pisses me off when people say that spelling is not important, so I feel it would be hypocritical of me to dismiss it.

While all these posts are funny and all, there's a part of my stomach that knots up with each one (The typo-ed ones)

Always. I'm horribly anal retentive about my grammar and the grammar of others.
I cringe when I hear a double negative.

For the most part, yes. But if I could, I would fix other posts. I'm picky when it comes to poor grammar and punctuation, and there's a lot of it in the forum.
Check out my avatar for the one I dislike the most.

Check out my avatar for the one I dislike the most. Technically, "WWE" and "crowd" are collective nouns, so both "is" and "are" are correct. That being said, the singular is more elegant and is preferred.

Oh, what drives me especially crazy is stuff like "Neither of us are going."
"Us" is the object of the preposition "of" and "neither" is the subject of the sentence, meaning that subject-verb agreement dictates that the proper usage of "to be" here is the singular "is."
