AIBU to be irritated by posters who make numerous typos and then have the audacity to apologise and say things like "oooooh I am so cross at this my spelling and grammar has gone by the board".
For fucks sake proof read prior to posting. It isn't that difficult.

Sometimes the thread is moving fast and if you stop to proof read your post, the thread moves on making your post irrelivant.

Plus it's one of those things in life that doesn't matter!

This first time I apologised for making a type, scottishmummy pulled me up on it. Now I don't care. But I do agree with the acronym thing - some of them are just undecipherable.

I find the correction of the typos way, way more irritating than the actual typo. 99 times out of 100 i don't notice the typo in the OP, but when the poster comes back to correct herself i ALWAYS have to go back and re-read something i read correctly the first time.

Geepers, I was pretty new at the time, and had noticed other people correcting typos (and I notice I put type instead of typo up there), so I thought it was the done thing. I've since learned otherwise.

Getorfmoiland. Am now chilled. Drinking large G&T. And toasting the end to proof read posts. Long may they be littered with spelling mistakes and grammatical errors.
