Typos and The Internet

[Calliope]

Why does anyone smurfing care? Typing errors happen. People are not born knowing how to spell every word in the world, nor should they be expected to. It bothers me much more when people make a big deal about "improper English", whether it is the mispronunciation/incorrect spelling/adopting new uses of language. The majority of my friends are lawyers, librarians and English majors, and they loooooove to snarkily correct people's tiny little errors - the next time I see this happening IRL, I'm going to yell at the lot of them. It may not be my preference how something is phrased, but people should be listened to for what they are saying, not put down because their language is not technically perfect. Also, if you're anything like me, you'll just automatically correct any errors as you are reading them - lucky for some.
