TheNewTeddy Posted August 20, 2012 Report Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) I've been staring back at a post on the "zon" of the Euro for a week now, and while I realize this was a type-o most likely, the fact that it's not been fixed... well it ticks me off. I'm wondering if it would be out of sorts for me to PM people who have these type-os in their thread titles, or, if a mod on regular rounds would be oppose to doing it when it happens?

Moonlight Graham Posted August 20, 2012 Report Posted August 20, 2012 You made a "typo" in your thread title. Please fix it. LOL ahh the irony. Quote "All generalizations are false, including this one." - Mark Twain Partisanship is a disease of the intellect.

I think mods have better things to do with their time than fix typos. As for PMing people about it, there doesn't seem to be any rule against it, so whether it would be "out of sorts" for you to do it is a call you have to make - and people will respond according to their desires. IOW, I doubt this is an issue that falls under the duty of the mods. Now, as Moonlight Graham said, fix the title of this thread - or I may be forced to PM you about it. Quote

Feel free to PM the person who made the typo. Report it to us too and say: "Pssst! Can you fix the word TYPO-O in the title to TYPO please?" I've been staring back at a post on the "zon" of the Euro for a week now, and while I realize this was a type-o most likely, the fact that it's not been fixed... well it ticks me off. It ticks me off too. However, it is also an indication of the attentiveness the OP puts into his own writing. There is some value to that. If you receive an email with a spelling mistake in the subject line, what is your automatic thought of the sender? With 99% probability, where does that email belong?

TheNewTeddy Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) fine... Everything you guys say makes perfect sense. So I guess you are right and I'm wrong. ...still PS. No that's not sarcastic. I'm just grumpy that I'm wrong about something. Edited August 22, 2012 by TheNewTeddy Quote Feel free to contact me outside the forums.
