I can usually determine the intent and use the context to understand the message and information so errors don't bother me too much. I admit I shake my head occasionally, but that's probably because I was a teacher. I taught my students tips and tricks for remembering specific grammar, spelling, and punctuation rules.

I'm a retired teacher. Personally, I try to make sure all my posts are mechanically and grammatically correct. I can't help it. lol Like someone else said, keyboard slips, auto-correct, or just "fast typing" happens, and I do make mistakes. If I see them after my comment has posted, I go back and correct them, though.

It's also the result of having been a teacher. Seeing the same misspelling over and over makes my eyeballs hurt! But in my defense, I only picked on one word, not "every grammatical error." Carry on.

Also, this was a generalized statement, not directed at a particular poster. I think that would be rude.
I wasn't teaching, but back int he day, before Spell Check, I used to proof read papers. Not only that, but I won my grade school's spelling bee in 4th grade.
Words spelled incorrectly practically jump off the page. It is what it is.
proofread.
Not sure what you want me to proofread. Maybe I'm misunderstanding?

proofread is one word, not two. Also spellcheck is one word. You were talking about correct spelling, so I was just saying we all make mistakes. I do, as well, and when I do, feel free to point them out.

@Nonametoday I am not the one who misspelled "proofread". I think you are getting me mixed up with Tinkrbl44.

Sorry. That has happened to me before when 2-3 posts get entangled. I apologize. I had addressed it to Shoesnbags initially. My apologies.

I have apologized twice. I said this has happened to me before. I am sorry. I apologize once again.
