Is it alright to point mistakes?

Only if you know the person well. Some people dont like that. Might lead to you being known as "The Wise Guy". So be careful about being critical. But there are nice ways of pointing the mistakes so that no one gets hurt.

It's rude to correct someone in front of others, but if you are their friend, do it privately and kindly. This will keep them from sounding ignorant the next time. (I can hear people reaching for the computer mouse to give me thumbs' down). If I mispronounced something horribly, I would want my friends to tell me so I would not make the same mistake twice.

If you are looking for funny mistakes, I recommend you check out this website:\nhttp://engrish.com/\nPeople have compiled hilarious pictures of errors found in Japan (a country notorious for its butchering of the English language in slogans and advertisements).  One of the funniest ones I saw was advertising a product "For everyone, everywhore."

There are many sites with this kind of information.  Your best bet is to enter "children ok make mistakes" in Yahoo or Google search.  \n\nhttp://www.micheleborba.com/Pages/ArtEB01.htm\nhttp://www.parentmap.com/april_05/0405_8b.htm

Owning up to your mistake is always the best. Be as apologetic as possible about it, demonstrating responsibility and regret. I've made two crucial mistakes in the past month. I sold the wrong Rx to the wrong person, although it was a fellow workmate picking up her mom's prescription (She brought back the Rx), and I closed the store before a customer could get their medicine (We had to close early, but I forgot that the customer was coming at the last minute). You just have to apologize and never argue with the call. If you do it looks like you are trying to wriggle out of a mistake you made. When management starts to try to right a wrong, they look at the first task, which is helping the employee understand how they need to act differently next time. If they see this is achievable, that makes them happy, actually.

It depends what you used when creating the account or whatever.  If you started off with your opposite hand and that's what they have on file, then it's valid.  How are they going to know it's the "wrong" hand.  If you're consistent, then it's fine.\n\nIf you switch around, that's when you start getting into trouble.  They just compare your current to what they have on file.

totally :)\n\nYet, if it communicates your point, then sometimes it's ok to be passe ;)

There's a old saying:\n"Listen to too much advice and you end up making other people's mistakes."\n\nTake advice under consideration, but let the final call be yours.

Mainly just keep in mind what you are trying to accomplish. Are you trying to convice someone else that your point of view is correct, or are you trying to hurt them? If keep that in mind with everything you say, you should be okay.

Limited only by time and how many times you want to make the same mistake

All right, I must admit you have made your point very clear!\nLikewise your wording is quite sound.\nPerhaps we must give it a second thought and \nElaborate the other way around as well\nReally do you want to get it right?

No one can do everything wrong all the time. You are berating yourself.Try to be more optimistic.

It depends on the company, on your profession/job and the mistake.\n\nIf you are lawyer and you loose a large case (and large sum) than one mistake is too much. If you sell shoes and you mishandle one customer they will forget you a couple of times.\n\nNevertheless, it is better not to do mistakes. And when it happens, admit it, ask for help for learning how to improve. It can ease the company's response.
