I am a curmudgeon about the proper form of written English, but I think that some of us have gone over the top here.
To be short and relatively sweet, refusing to answer an honest question which may have a few incidental grammar or spelling errors is not gracious.
We are human and very few of us have never made such mistakes. (Proofread some of the posts!)
In my opinion, a gentle reminder, done privately and addressing the specific situation, is the most gracious way to address an individual situation.
