There’s a joke in there somewhere, definately.
A new one to me was “gall blatter”. :eek: And that appeared here on the Dope!
I have too agree; all these mistakes make me shutter. My advise to newspaper publishers would be to take a peak at there papers sometimes to see how there editors are doing.
Does Texas only “mostly” contain you? You must be large indeed.
WRT the topic at hand, it annoys me too, though not so much when it’s an honest typo. Bare/bear, there/they’re/their, etc. can happen to anyone as a result of fast typing even when the person does know the correct spelling. I sometimes trip up on they’re/there/their, because it’s as if my brain, when I’m typing, just selects any valid spelling for the sound without considering which is correct. This doesn’t happen with less common words.
On the other hand, lose/loose sound different; that’s just a case of not being able to spell.
