Too bad the “looking spoon” can’t spell for squat because I refuse to “share” graphics that the creator didn’t take 2 seconds to check spelling and grammar. “Let’s” SHOULD have an apostrophe, because it is a contraction, short for “let us.” This is something most of us learned in first or second grade at the latest.

There is no word “genetalia.” Had you pulled your text into a word processing box before blithely typing you’d have seen the wavy red line underneath which is generally a good sign that “you have screwed up.” There is however, a word “genitalia” which is what you were likely looking for.

For the love of God, two blatant mistakes in the same line?

In never fails to amaze me how someone can spend all that time finding a good photo, cropping, balancing the color etc. and then not bother to take a few nano-seconds to get the spelling, punctuation and grammar right. NOT doing so makes “our side” look ignorant.

I create most of my graphics either late at night (as in 2 or 3 AM, and I have a newborn son right now) or under the gun at work.

So I’m either extremely tired or extremely rushed AND tired. I don’t know who you are, but you obviously are of the mind that everyone has as much time in the world as you do.

So it must be nice sitting in the arm-chair quarterback peanut gallery acting like everyone should be as perfect as Jesus Christ while blogging.

I appreciate the heads up on the errors, what I don’t appreciate is you being a high-handed jerk about it.

It doesn’t take nanoseconds, none of this does. Even profession blogs and news sites have mistakes. On average I see about one per day, and these people have editors, supposedly.

If you ever go a day without making a mistake of your own let me know...or don’t, because you’ll be lying.

Could be a passionate response.
