You Can't Make This Stuff Up Department

I got an email from someone telling me there are a couple of typos on my website. She didn't say exactly where they were and used a pushy and obnoxious tone to tell me I better hire her right away or suffer the consequences of looking like a jerk in front of the whole world. (As if I didn't already do that right here, each and every day.).

I wrote back and told her I didn't like her tone.

She wrote:
"I noticed a number of typos in the course of reading your site. I t! hought that these two in particular hurt your company's and your client's image."

I wrote:
"[B.L.] and here's a typo of yours:
t! hought
now i am ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!! that's really rich.
you can't make this stuff up.
have a nice evening."

Is that called eating your own stew? Or is there another expression to describe it?

It's called giving airtime to numbnuts. Why bother? I make typos all the time. Not sure if you know but most people don't notice provided they see the first and last letters with enough visual clues in the middle. Not that should be an excuse but hey - this is blogging not an editorial competition in prose elegance - is it?

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by itslef but the wrod as a wlohe.

Actually, I believe in spell checking and not butchering the language. And I did have some typos, which I will fix. It was her approach that annoyed me, and her self-righteousness.

Good comment reply, B.L. Unlike what Mr. Howlett said, I think people do notice. Yes, we can still read and understand it, but it gets notice. Yes, typos are understandable. And, no, blogging isn't some edit competition.
But, people can judge you on how well -- poorly -- you type if it's done regularly.
It'd be the same is if one often used poor grammar during a conversation.
Ain't that right?
