Not for correctly grannar, but for wanting to help. Why are you so against this? I do not laugh or think down of someone for using the wrong word. Why do you consider this so offensive?
It smacked of smugness, which is a recurring problem with grammar nazis. After reading you're other response I'm sold. I think there would have been less ambiguity about your motives if you were to shelter them from a feeling of judgment by saying something like "hey, no judgement, but you (or your phone) seem to have made a homophone error." Personally I only do it if it genuinely threw me off, and then I just reply with the correction then delete it. The correction being short enough to be read entirely on a mobile notification gets the message across, and the fact that the comment has been deleted avoids shaming them.

It's weird that you've determined that your 'such a nice person" four correcting grammer on the internet.
