I’m not sure I understand. Are you saying that “polictics” is a valid alternative spelling of “politics”? Or that, as in the video, misspellings are not your fault, they’re the fault of English?
Perhaps you live in a world where first impressions don’t matter, where what you do is not subject to quality control, and attention to detail doesn’t matter. Still, is it too much to ask that people pay attention to spell check?
I’m not saying that everyone should be perfect all the time, but gracefully admitting mistakes and being slightly abashed, resolving to do better next time, would be a positive response.
“polictics” was a typo. the spelling part was for whatever mistake you found in the title. I should have probably been clearer about that, but I thought the distinction was obvious.
I may have responded a bit too harshly. For me a downvote means “This post is completely trash and should not exist”, so to hear that a single typo is enough to invalidate it made me a bit defensive. You are absolutely correct to point it out but I think a downvote is a bit too harsh.
Also I know that’s probably not what downvotes mean to you but considering how they affect rankings I see them this way because downvote=less score=less people see=should not be seen.
Really? a typo and a spelling mistake is your bar for bad content? That seems a bit harsh.
Also this video sums up my feelings about english spelling.
