For most of the reasons already mentioned, no, I don't.

I would be grateful if someone was to correct me because English is not my native language and I want to improve my skills but I think it would be more relevant and useful to send them a message (especially for recurrent mistakes) instead of just correcting them secretly (because it won't help anyone and obviously when no one told you why you are wrong, chances are that you will always do the same mistake).

I mentally do but thats because I notice things like that even in my own posts I have previously made. I would never tho actually take the time to edit an entire post or even when I quote someone that isn't very nice and I don't like it when people do it to me.
