Here, Here

Recently I had a discussion with some friends about errors on my blog. More specifically, the gramatical-correction e-mails one member of my family sends me when there might be a teensy error here or their. Then I read this on a different blog today.

"Every person who is not a total idiot hates it when people mess up your/you're, their/there/they're. Every person who is not an idiot will, when reading on past blogs and finding that they made one of those mistakes (not because they're as stupid as the other people who make those same mistakes, but because they're such fast typers, or didn't proof read, or whatever other legitimate reasons can be fairly assumed), feel a twinge of, "Oh shit. Now people think I'm a mental retard. They'll think I don't even know the difference between 'your' and 'you're.' So-and-so's opinion of me is ruined slightly, even if it's sub-consciously, because I used the wrong 'it's.'

The said blog then goes on to rant about editing curse words from your blog, but I don't really curse on my blog so I didn't feel the need to include that part.

So in short, I'm human. I make mistakes. Deal with it or stop reading the blog!
