Is it you - someone who doesn't know my mind the way I do. Or at least I
assume you don't have mind reading capabilities.
Or is it me? The person
in the best position to judge whether what I did was an actual spelling mistake
or a typo?
I've got a comment I entered today with the
subject:
One Reason why the Supreme Court Should Go Againt
Myriad
Of course, instead of "Againt" - I meant
"Against".
Now in this case, since "againt" isn't actually a word - it's
an obvious typo. But in the case of "forfeit" where the typo happened to be in
dropping the e (rather then the obvious s in against):
it could be a
misspelling
or
it could be a tpo
I just caught myself in a typo on
typo. But I put the tpyo back (oops, there I go agai) (drat, and again) to show
just how often my topos (gonna leave that one in too) are.
As I said: I'm
human. And I err. And I will make a reasonable effort to catch my typos and
correct them. And as you can see from the number of typos in this post compared
to my normal level of literacy: I even err when I'm proof reading and don't
always catch everything.
Where I do actually make honest spelling
mistakes and someone catches me t... on those (there's another of those typos
where I was thinking one thing and the fingers hit something else) then I will
correct my spelling.
In all instances, If (another typo, i shouldn't be
capativl... capitilized there) I'm unsure of the spelling, I look it
up.
So please don't try to know my mind better then me and accept that
what was cauh... caught was a spelling error and not a typo.
And if you
doubt my spelling ability and error rare... rate vs my typo r ... error rate,
then I suggest you simply count how many actual spelling errors I have in this
post as opposed to the tpy... typos that I deliberately choose not to
correct.
