    Wht are people here such jerks about minor typos?

    Favourite answer:

    I can't really answer for other people

    For me. if someone puts up work for feedback and there are typos I'll point them out. It's part of giving feedback. Plus, if they had taken the time to read their own work (usually they copy and paste) they'd have noticed them. This suggests to me they wrote it last night, didn't bother reading it and just slammed it up for others to read. Why should I bother to read it, for nothing, when they can't be bothered? Pointing out grammar and spelling is part of giving critique. It's just a sign of laziness in writing looking for feedback.

    But in an actual question I don't. I make errors on here all the time as well (look above). I will read through my question and correct ones but sometimes, on the screen you don't notice obvious mistakes. I don't give critique unless it asked for. The only time I comment is if the text is so terrible I can't understand what they are asking. But the internet is a wonderful place for bullies and idiots to get together. One nasty comment and everyone seems to jump on board.

    I posted some work a month ago on here and on AW. AW noticed very few mistakes, this site everyone basically said all of it was terrible and they could hardly understand what I had written. I linked this to AW and everyone was laughing and taking the mick out of the idiots on here. I was advised not to post work on here anymore because there was too much ignorance.
