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 know what? Sometimes what a person has to say is more important than any tyyyyypo's or incorrect usage.

There I made a typo. Is your hair on fire?

You rang?

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

I disagree with you. Whenever I see incorrect parts of speech, bad grammar and misspelling of words, I feel it undermines the credibility of the poster. If an individual has such a simple matter as parts of speech wrong, what else have they got wrong? Are they also incorrect on facts? Anyone can present an argument or tell you how they feel about something but if they can’t express themselves using their own native tongue, I would be embarrassed to cite their comment. Generally I don’t openly criticize “English challenged” posts. I have however, been known (rarely) to dismiss someone for this reason, if they are obnoxious.

I don't consider myself an elitist, but I am disgusted at the inferior “product” of the American public school system nowadays. I graduated from a public high school in 1976, back when people were taught how to spell.

"and they cannot wait to correct it once they see one."

Don't you just hate it when that happens? ;-)

Well, you asked for it. :-)

not yet!

But it was frustrating to be graded in school for something that didn’t matter wasn’t it? Or something the teacher continually screwed up on too?
