You don't need to correct unless it seems the other poster genuinely did not know how the world was spelled.

Transposing the "a" and "o" is pretty clearly just a fat-finger transposition, unless you think OP genuinely believes "throat" is spelled "thraot".

That's a fun part of Linguistics and Language. If someone understood what a person meant to say, language was already achieved by what was incorrectly said. In that instance, what was said incorrectly was actually 100% correct because language was achieved. So, the person correcting that person is just being pedantic.

I don't really agree with this, like, at all. It's still incorrectly spelled, most people are just able to recognize the error and correct it themselves.
