You are very judgemental. I did proofread and still missed the typo. Or the photo editing program erased the word, which happens. I am a two-handed, ten-fingered typist. So please back off. And apologize. Thank you.
Apologize? For what? Computers do not delete [ ] without user error. If a smart-aleck comment requires [ ] to defend yourself, well, [ ] to the world. You are welcomed.
Pro tip: They say it is best to put aside your writing for a day or at least a few hours before proofreading. Easier to read what is actually there, not what you intended to be there.
“Getting to be” is very diplomatic. I’d say Cato has gotten much more annoying. Pointing out typos and making cracks about “one handed typing”? That’s flat out trolling and it’s just plain rude and pointless.
If pointing out typos is annoying, I have a simple solution – stop making typos!
I offered one tip to prevent typos, and that was to pull up your pants and use two hands to type.
Trolling? no, that would be you pretending to be annoyed by the clear obvious desire to improve this site. Rude? again no. That again would be you. Pointless? Perhaps. It may be pointless in my hopes for improved communications here. Don Quixote had his dragons to slay.

Dear Cato, I had a coworker once who could spot any typo on a page just by glancing at the page. Typos litterally lept off the page for her. I dearly wanted to hire her for proofing, but we lived on opposite sides of a metro area.
I am somewhat dyslectic and I have a very hard type reading what I thought I wrote vs what I actually wrote. If you’re enjoying the story, you might want to consider that when you run into some of our shortcomings. Alternately, you can continue to enjoy shagging potatoes at those of us who put it out there.
I wonder if we have a list of whose contributions appear on the blog? It would be interesting to see how many have been made by those who complain about spelling and grammar…
“Just checking to see I would look to the world…” ?!?!?
“Just checking to see [how] I would look to the world…” ?!?!?
Apparently, some people cannot type one handed. Pull up your pants to type.
You need to stop getting unreasonably ticked off at typos, because you’re getting to be more annoying than the typos you’re correcting
Am I ticked off? Nope. I find it humorous that the one-handed jerk machines cannot type at the same time.
Proofreading is a skill set few appreciate these days.
If you are coming here for the comments, you are missing the reason for the site.
Oh, so you enjoy the typos. Thanks for sharing.

I tried asking you to stop being rude without putting on my admin hat, but that didn’t work. So this is your official warning. Stop.

I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I do.

Yes actually, he submitted this masterpiece under another fake name. Although presumably that’s just more trolling. I admit it’s mildly amusing.
