    I personally do and don't. Like, I try not to have any typos on anything, but if I only find one after I've posted something or turned it in, I will never go back again.... so, do you care about typos?

    I do. If you make a typo, you lose 40% of my trust and 80% of your chance of me liking you.

    Depends on how shitty they’re if they’re nearly impossible to read I do mind(not that much tho) . But I make so much typos but I’m to lazy to correct them.

    My answer to this is it depends, if typos are frequent enough it will turn me off from the story however a couple here and there does no harm

    Yeah, typos are something I try to avoid letting anyone see. The thing I dislike most about twitter is how I can't edit my tweets after making a typo, otherwise I would fix them 100% of the time. The worst is when I make a typo in Japanese since I can totally change the meaning of what I was trying to say. (みたい vs 見たい)

    Please use the correct they're/there/their. I was walking though my college physics building the other day and a poster on the wall from an honor society used their instead of there. I seriously doubt their intelligence.

    It was an invitation to a welcoming party, but a public poster like that with a typo... I thought I left those back in highschool.

    Aren't you Ricelord? What will happen if they eat your subjects? Are you allowing your kingdom to be destroyed?! Are you really a lord?

    Rice is not sentient. It is food. It is meant to be eaten. Its beauty is appreciated by eating it.
