As a wannabe novelist, this still
irks me. Whenevur someone makes a typo online, there's always some person that
is quik to point it out. I'm even guilty of making errors when I post online.
Mainly this happens for I'm posting from a Notepad file, I'm not paying
attention, or I don't care. I mean it's on frigging a social media site, and
not something I plan on sending off to be printed. I'm not going to spell check
when all I'm posting is something like this: "Dude, you're friggning
nuts!"
Yes, I'm aware that the fact I did
make tipos here, but proving a point. As long as you can comprehand it, does
the speling really matter? I doubt most of us are sitting there typing out
posts in Word before posting them onto Facebook, or wherever. Plus, since most
people are updating social sites from their phones, tablets, anything but a PC,
so running a spell check is pretty hard.
Now, I will stress. If you're going
to post something making fun of someone's intelligence, or try to sound
superior to everyone, and there are grammatical errors, the poster deserves to
be mocked. As they say, it's not wise to throw rocks when one lives in a glass
house. Then again, my finally thought is this: a lot of issues can be solved by
thinking and/or researching what you're going to post for once it's posted,
it's on there for good.
