Spelling Errors: Stupid? Lazy? Or A-OK?

[alphabassettgrrl]

Spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors drive me crazy. I have learned to accept a certain level of error in the online world, but I can't say I like it. I don't know if the poster is in a hurry, lazy, uneducated, or just doesn't care, or what, but I can't love the errors.

In public material, errors are worse. Published books, signs, etc, really need to be correct. Once or twice it's been so egregious I've written to the publisher offering my services as proofreader as they so obviously need it and don't have it. I can't accept errors in published material. There they come off as stupid or lazy and there's no excuse.

Kevy, I'm with you in looking at a page and the errors JUMP out at me.
