I go on to talk about the service.  As you might imagine, sometimes in my haste I make an error.  Yes, it is embarrassing and I am very appreciative when the author lets me know.  Yet, sometimes (like today) I get a note like the following

These are never fun to get, but I accept them in the heat of the moment, make the change, and thank the author for his time.  In some small way it confirms my need for the service.

Keep those typos coming.

A recent article about the power of typos caught my attention this week.  The author reports on the work of Andrew Brodsky.  His work shows that typos convey emotion. He does not go into the physical causes of this, but I am sure you have found that when on a rant, you tend to let your fingers fly. Most of the errant keystrokes get caught, but if you are in a passionate mood, sometimes all the red gets filtered out.  He does note that this emotional gain does not usually outweigh the hit you get for intelligence. I hope to chat with the future Dr. Brodsky and will share my findings.

I continue to stand by my EditMob mantra that no one (older than 10) gets chided for perfect grammar.

Watch for an update or maybe survey in the near future.
