It is netiquette 101 to not confront folks about their spelling or grammar on forums. Don has been a grammar troll for more than 25 years on the forums on which he has participated. I have freely called him out for this behavior on multiple occasions.

"When someone makes a mistake—whether it's a spelling error or a spelling flame, a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer—be kind about it. If it's a minor error, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before reacting. Having good manners yourself doesn't give you license to correct everyone else. If you do decide to inform someone of a mistake, point it out politely, and preferably by private email rather than in public. Give people the benefit of the doubt; assume they just don't know any better. And never be arrogant or self-righteous about it."

In addition, what is the most famous thing Don is known for? The I-18. Here is part of what I wrote back in 2014.

In Blackjack Attack, Schlesinger wrote:

If you are a practicing hi-lo player and have diligently committed to memory 150 to 200 index numbers, you may be interested to learn that for this particular game and style of play, you might as well throw 90% of your numbers away and keep just the “Illustrious 18.” On the other hand, if you have just mastered true count and were about to embark upon your study of the index-number matrix, I have saved you a great deal of work. Learn the plays in the chart and forget about the rest. You can trust me that you won’t be missing much."

To which I replied:

When I was counting cards, it never occurred to me that less knowledge might be a good thing. Although I was not a professional AP, I took card counting seriously. To me, mastering index plays was part of beating the game. As a professional and academic, I cannot see why anyone would want less when they can have more. Giving up knowledge is giving up opportunity. It’s giving up on life. Advocating intellectual laziness seems antithetical to what being an AP is all about.

Eliot, I like to tell you something about your criticism on this board of Don Schlesinger. According to you Don S doesn't display enough netiquette towards other people. You also do not like his stance regarding index plays beyond the I18. Well, I will say one thing that Don S does not do, is continue to carry on like you are in an active thread that is now 80 posts where the other person involved in the subject matter is not even a member here and subsequently a non-participant. What does that say about you sir?
