It's not good manners to point out spelling mistakes, but it took me a while to go from "acetic" (vinegar-like?) to "ascetic".

I kinda like the typo, it gives a very poetic / double meaning to the sentence :)
If someone makes the same spelling mistake repeatedly, it's not a typo, and IMO it's better to point it out, because they're probably carrying it over into more professional contexts and it affects how they're perceived.
Obviously in a personal context you'd try and do something like that in private, not in a group, but that's not really an option here.
If I repeatedly misspell something, or repeatedly use a validly spelled word in place of a homonym, I want to know.
It's a word I use so infrequently that I was unaware that I misspelled it. Thank you.
