No. Kids just love to be corrected. That's what their brain is designed 
for.

They check things out and adults tell them, what is right and what is not.

But if you don't tell kids, what they should do and what not, they will 
not know, unless they check it out themselves.

This could cause casualties, since a few tries could be fatal. And so 
the kids will not appreciate this non-teaching.

To teach kids, you actually don't need to be rude. Just tell them, what 
is right and what is not. But it is necessary to check that out in 
advance, since kids want good advice.

Especially the UseNet 'lives' from writing skills.

Well, yes.

But communication requires more than just understanding the other ones 
words.
