The program won't compile if you misspell keywords or misspell variables or functions differently...

After thirty years of writing software, you presume to be informing me of something?

If you were so good at QA, you would have noted that I have continuously stated that my proofing level for these posts does not even come close to that which I use for work products. I am sometimes posting from work, where time is not well spent on proofing posts. Do you have some problem parsing the English grammar? Do you actually think I should proof these posts in some rash attempt to win the Pulitzer?

BWAHAAHAHA, you're exactly the type of programmer that makes me add a month to the schedule. All ego and afraid of even the slightest criticism. You're the kind of guy that will argue for an hour about a bug and will in the end dismiss it as a minor issue requiring only 5 minutes to fix (never explaining why you didn't just fix the damn thing and 11 others just like it instead of arguing about it). I love engineers like you, if it wasn't for you guys no one would ever need QA.

It's really hard to parse "English grammar" when the writer didn't actually use English grammar, when in fact there's so many misspelled words it's arguable they didn't use English at all. If your point is worth making it's worth making CORRECTLY, with properly spelled words and everything. If you were a man and not an ego you could take your hit for misspelling without going into a tizzy and trying to blame everybody else for YOUR MISTAKE.
