If they're older than you or are of authority (parents, etc) let them be.
If they're someone like your friend you should correct them.

Question everything. Even your elders.
But if they insist on being ignorant, it is bliss.

I usually like to correct someone if they're using improper grammar. Although, I try not to be a pain about it.

I think that it would be best if you were to correct them so that way they don't make the same mistake twice.

It isn't bad to correct people at all, but people do take it as an offense. I remember someone corrected me about something a few years ago and it helped me out last year.

There's no objective measure of what good or bad is.

I think correcting them is better. However, there has to be a more polite way of doing that. If you correct them in a disrespectful way, that will end up to be being rude instead of being concerned or helping another person.
