Can we discuss the typos?

Look, I know this isn't technically about a subreddit being problematic, but can we talk about the rampant typos on forums like /r/teenagers? It's like a linguistic crime spree over there. If you're gonna post, the least you can do is run a quick spell check. Some posts are unreadable!

Haha guilty! I'm one of those constant typo-makers. 😬 Sometimes I'm just too lazy to double-check my write-ups. I guess I should fix it, huh?

I think we should definitely talk about this. Maybe it's time the subreddit has a help guide for posting. Even just a link to a basic spellcheck tool could make a difference!

Wow, I just joined and didn't know typos were such a big deal here. But hey, I'm here to learn, not just spellcheck everything, right? 🤔

There's actually fascinating research about how we comprehend jumbled words as long as the first and last letters are correct. So, while I agree typos can be distracting, they challenge our brain in interesting ways!

I think the typos add character! Maybe Reddit needs more typos, like typocalypse or something. 😂

I wonder if it's just the age group? Teens usually aren't the best with spelling, but it's a bit surprising how prevalent it is. Maybe mods need to start enforcing some type of spell-check policy?

Who cares about typos? Language evolves, man. As long as ur getting the point across, who needs fancy spelling rules? 🤘

Ugh, I totally get it. It's painful trying to read some of those posts. It's like no one learns basic spelling and grammar anymore. Seriously, what happened to proofreading?
