I think you a grammatical error there. Honestly I think if you're going to pull people up on grammar/spelling errors you really need to do yourself a favour and not have the same type of error in your own post. It undermines your case somewhat and, frankly, makes you look like a bit of a dick. Apologies in advance if this was a well-meaning post but to be honest the tone didn't seem that friendly. Cheers, A.

That one was on purpose, just like yours.

I don't think Adam minds my nagging. I hope he doesn't. I sure don't mean to berate anyone for making typos. I wouldn't point them out in a forum post. But TWID is like two or three steps up from that.

Ahhhhh in that case I unreservedly reiterate the aforementioned apology :-) Good point re. the wider distribution. It's just soooooooooooo tricky sometimes figuring out intent on the web. Adam's someone I hold in very high esteem, and we Scots tend to react quite strongly to a slight ( perceived or otherwise) against those we consider our buddies :-) It just looked like you were taking a few potshots for fun , but given the wider context makes sense... Cheers, A.

No problem at all. I confess I slapped this one together in a bit of a rush: yesterday didn't feel like Sunday to me (it was a special weekend in my church so my routine was all changed) so I forgot to do it and instead quickly pieced it together today in an attempt to get it out before it was too late.

Speaking of too late, I realised I missed the boat for this announcement,
unless you're still able to add stuff.  I assume it might be fitting,
despite not going on "in here".

Really, that seemed unnecessary :) I can't speak for Andrej, but personally I think corrections for published articles are helpful, and TWiD has a wider audience than this forum (or at least so I hope). Typos in a post with typo corrections don't change the validity of the corrections, and I did not find anonymous' post mean in any way. Plus, I think that at least the second mistake was on purpose and meant as a joke: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-accidentally

Yea, I hate when I accidentally a word. At least he didn't accidentally all the words, and be in the same boat as this poor fella: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20111121143759AAw9rUQ

Ok again, my mistake yikes. Humm, we need a better solution to grab all of these mistakes. Or at least Word didn't find any of them :/
