You know I just despise this compulsive hangup some people have on typo's, and correct usage .. and they cannot wait to correct it they see one. How they love to be THE ONE to show others that they know better.

You rang?

In your sentence, "typo's" should not be spelled with an apostrophe.

People take things so personally around here! Even BEFORE anyone says anything!

BTW your argument is of course, an ad hominem, and as such, is invalid.

But just for fun let's try reversing the logic:

"this compulsive hangup some people have about people who correct typos, and about those who want to encourage correct usage ... they cannot wait to correct people they see someone step out of line and draw attention to their social error. How they love to be THE ONE to show others that they know better."
