I noticed quite a few typos* on the pages of learnhub. Should spelling errors or typos be corrected? Will people get hurt or appreciate the gesture?

Here is a typo generator for those who are perfect spellers: http://tools.seobook.com/spelling/keywords-typos.cgi

Great link.

I am sure a lot of the time when writing content people often overlook a few spelling errors. I don’t see them getting hurt by the suggestions as I am sure they don’t want them glaring at their readers.

Read hereto the very informative page of Matt Davis , working at the Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, in Cambridge, UK, a Medical Research Council unit that includes a large group investigating how the brain processes language. You can find it HERE

“Iny srmat…” perhaps, can be used for some neuro-corrective therapy ! My eyes started twitching.

Thanks for the referrals.

Spelling is in the eye of the writer and reader, they are sharing a personal journey together, if it is written so that the reader can understand the meaning and content that is enough. We have enough rules and authority in our lives, if our spelling is not perfect, that is okay by me. Besides I am not being graded on grammar and spelling – I hope – I am being read by others for content, ideas and responses to their comments. :). Hopefully what I write is worth reading once in a while— if not…please let me know, because I tend to get diarrhea of the fingers sometimes. :)

Too much is too bad. But not your ” diarrhea of the fingers ”. Nobody dares to plug or pluck it :-)

As long as it is tolerable( threshold is hihgly personal) I would enjoy it with lights on. Or else,..off !

I do agree with the spirit of hshawjr’s post(content).
