    Not the kind of typo one would want to write in an essay or a job application letter...
    You shouldn't use contractions in essays or job applications anyway. Looks bad.

    I don't, except for direct quotes. Just giving an example of how it could be an unfortunate error to make.

    Ah, okay. Yeah.. that would be pretty bad. I kinda want to do that just to see a reaction though. Hm...

    Why the hell would a mis-spelling provoke an emotion strong enough as annoyance? Good God, ignore it or correct it, get over it & get on with your life.

    No misspellings bother me. Ive gotten used to writing 'Color' rather than 'Colour' in HTML etc so its not too bad. I do hate all the american different spellings, as sometimes I hand in essays with spellings I thought were right, and got back "AMERICAN SPELLING!!".
    Thats kinda annoying, but there's nothing you can do about it. If I make a misspelling, I just change it.

    LIke

    Oh man just looking at it gets me all riled up. I hate doing that. I wish my fingers wouldn't smurf up the shift so much.

    Resluts is always bad. I constantly misspell it like that.

    I once asked my maths class how to spell definitely, cause I had no idea. Neither did any of them. Now I know how to.

    And yes, coulour gets me quite a bit too.

    No, I was getting told off for USING American spelling xD

    My friend once said "orgasm" instead "organisms" to our science teacher. It made me lol, and him blush.

    Its rare that I typo. Nothings ever all that consistent when I do. Misspellings however are usually just ignorance. Difference has two f's while definitely has one. That's a bother. But you learn. I think English and American-English should be interchangeable. Sometimes I like to add a U to words for flare. I'm in love with the backspace and a little too concious of what I'm typing sometimes

    That's pretty strict. If I happened to type/write 'colour' or the like, it wouldn't be marked on our papers.

    Not any misspellings I do often. I do end up not capitalizing my I's a lot be cause I keep letting go of the shift button too soon or I'm typing to fast and don't hit it at all.

    Thanks to eternal essence for the great sig!
