Na.

What happened in that one case is that someone complained via moderator email
about a post that contained essentially zero content.  I didn't really want to
delete the post, but I figured that if I commented on the guy's spelling I could
let him know that I was annoyed and increase his level of education at the same
time.  This backfired, as I should have predicted.  I should have just deleted
the post.

I would never be so petty as to comment on spelling when someone is trying to
use the language to express something tangible.  I think that's only a couple of
small increments above throwing poop at someone.
