Even if it’s a good point or funny? Sometimes people type fast and their brains jumble stuff
Yeah, I often have to edit my comments a couple times before I fix all the issues and it might be a while before I catch it.
One must have a respect for their audience. Proofreading takes one person a few seconds, and collectively saves thousands of people time trying to decipher.
I think there’s a balance. If it’s indecipherable, sure, too far. But like I said, if it’s obviously a good contribution, meaning it makes sense, I’m not gonna downvote just because the person misspelled something. I also think in this case it’s far from being disrespectful to the audience. Plus English isn’t everybody’s first language.
I had a math professor who misspelled so much stuff. “Existance” and stuff like that. I really didn’t give a fuck though. Found it kinda endearing.
I’m not really on the defensive btw because I do proofread my comments lol
