Spelling Errors

I was wondering out of idle curiousity why it is that the mods don't ever correct obvious mistyping in the Thread Titles? It must be a bit embarrassing to start a thread and then realize you've typed 'Appdefende' rather than 'Appdefend' but there it is for the rest of forever. I do understand that a lot of people who use these forums have English as a second language and my query isn't about that but just your common or garden mistyping.

P.S. I'm working on getting a life

 

I've been on the net something like 8 years now, and generally I've never worried too much about spelling. If I happen to notice a typo in what I've posted, the heck with it as long as I think my meaning was understandable.

In English, at least, it's rare that a typo is significant. One exception does jump to mind -- "is not OK" and "is now OK" are almost totally opposite in meaning.

Ummmm. I always wondered why they talk so funny.

 

The mods mostly let the spelling mistakes go on forever because it helps the Google ranking. All hail mighty google. If someone mis-spelt it wrong when they create a thread, there is a chance they might in google, interesting eh?

There was some reason actually why I didn't change that AppDefende spelling mistake which I can't recall, but I did correct another one today.

 

It is nice to hear that you guys ton't mint typo's.
