I would understand it being an issue if other people on this thread posting saw confusion in it..but they didn't so i didn't see what the big deal is...Thats a huge assumption to compare it to not checking the details of anything i purse in life lol. I can assure you the papers i write dont contain those typos. I didn't commit a crime i just wasn't paying attention as i wrote it. I can be a fast typer. Like when i say the word "write" i sometimes write "right" because im just not paying attention online. Stuff happens. Its kind of crazy for this to be over thought and the little mistake i made to be made into a big deal. But i understand that is some people's opinion. now i'd like to stay back on topic if you don't mind since this is getting off topic.

Typo ridden post? Fail? That's mature. This has nothing to do with the context of my thread so please stop this. This is being taken way too far. I've never seen someone on this site get commented for the mistakes they've made and i've seen plenty of miswritten words. It's not that serious. Nobody died.

Then you're obviously VEEEEEEEERY new, since people get called out all the time, especially for apart/a part. Oh, and expecting a thread to stay on topic is also very rookie around here.

I am very new. So far it just seems like people want to pick arguments and i don't like that. It's unnecessary. If people posting got confused by that i would understand the need to point out my mistake but they didn't so it just wasn't necessary to be rude about it or as they put it "snarky".

He's what you seem to be missing:

1. You can't control what someone posts on this thread, or the direction it takes.
2. Many people take spelling and grammar seriously here. Why should anyone take the effort to answer your question if you don't take the effort to form it properly. This is a life lesson applicable outside of cyberland as well.
3. You can't argue "I've never seen people do X here" and "I'm new" at the same time as they invalidate each other.

But one little thing i made a mistake on in the whole entire post and they choose to start something over that when everyone else seemed to understand what i meant? I just find that absurd. When i said that i meant since being on here i have seen plenty of miswritten words and i hadn't seen people comment on them, they just continued on with answering the post. I understand what you are saying and thank you for the insight, i just wish others would have explained that without being rude like you did. A simple "hey next time just make sure you say "a part" instead of "apart" INCASE(because nobody did) someone has a problem understanding what you meant" would have sufficed..It's the way people say things.

You just made a typo and meant to say "Here's" instead you said "He's", but it's not that big of a deal because i understood what you mean. Do you get what i mean? It wasn't that serious to make a huge deal about it.
