Do typos and spelling mistakes really matter to you?


Writing is a sophisticated job and our brains focus on the structure, the sentences and the phrases.

When writers opine that typos are the result of cleverness, it opens up room for debate.

I just read a British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) report which states that typos and spelling mistakes aren’t important. As I digested this information, I looked out my window, just to make sure that a hoard of hungry zombies wasn’t stumbling down my street with their vacant eyes, shredded clothes and dirty finger nails. If a venerable organisation like the BBC had approved such an article, it could only mean one thing: the world was coming to an end.
