I just warn against it as a blanket rule. If someone's writing a paper and you can help them out then go for it. If it's something super annoying like the difference between: their, there, they're then sometimes I'm unable to bite me tongue.
I just know that usually, when the grammar police show up, it's un-welcomed and stinks a certain degree of smugness. From what I've seen in the work place, you never want to be "that guy". Now, there's no harm in being the person that everyone brings their first draft to, but you never want to give unsolicited advice.
That's even more true online because people, generally, aren't trying to write full sentences. It's more of a stream of consciousness thing.
That's my two cents. Add a dollar to that and you can buy a Coke.
