I am not sure where else to post this question.
If someone corrects grammar and/or spelling in posts in forums, they often make mistakes themselves.
Someone coined a 'law' describing this.
Does anyone know the name of this law?

A man walked into a car showroom.
He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
The man replied, “You have now mate".

You are thinking of Skitt’s Law, which states that people who correct other's spelling or grammar are likely to commit errors themselves...Drinking Rum before 10am makes you
