What I mind is the feeling that something i said or wrote was worth no more than the perfection of such minor details. I am aware that spelling errors, to those who are immaculate spellers, are glaring,obvious, and distracting, yet if all something you read conjures in you is impulse to correct, it is better to say nothing at all.

However, if you do not, then you clearly wasted your time reading it. And you are wasting more of your time by pointing out such errors, as well as making someone feel worthless or humiliated and bluntly displaying the fact that you did, in fact, waste your time. If you actually mean to be helpful, then you would stop when you noticed it bothered someone, but you don't. You are
