I can understand a mistake considering transcription, but I see all too many such simple mistakes these days in articles all over our so called “media”, and it is disheartening.

How many articles I posted today is beside my point, and actually brings to light another issue I’ve had to deal with lately with being unable to stand up and admit an error without having to attempt a “sidetracking” of the point at hand with an accusation or “counter” that attempts to “throw mud” at another in order to take the “sting” out of the fact that such an error was made in the first place.

My apologies for bringing such an insignificant issue to light. I have to deal with this on a daily basis and it just struck a nerve.

I thought the spelling looked incorrect, but the flick of my wrist hit send too quickly because I was trying to get this posted before bedtime. 100% my mistake. Don’t assume that I’m ignorant or that I’m a jerk for a spelling error. I bring up the question of how many articles you posted, not to deflect blame from myself towards you, but to imply the time I spent finding, copying and pasting articles is a more constructive way of enriching FR’s content than mocking others’ lexographical errors.
