If you're reading a fic that seems littered with spelling and grammar errors, would you give up reading or would you offer proofing assistance?

I'm reading a fic over on FFN and the plot is interesting so I'm continuing. The author's bio says nothing about English as a second language so I made no mention of that in the PM I sent her offering my help. Do you think this was a step too far? Her author's notes seem to welcome constructive criticism.

I was just wondering where the rest of you stood in this matter.

I would quit reading, but only because there's more SPN fic out there than I can read in a lifetime
imho, I wouldn't offer corrections unless offering to beta the entire work for grammar

God, there is a ton of SPN fic. I'm making my way through [livejournal.com profile] spnstoryfinders from the beginning and I have 2 years to go! As I said, if it really starts to outweigh the plot, I'll probably drop it
