I'm not claiming I'm fantastic or fool-proof, but I'm good at spelling words fairly instinctively at this point in my life - watch me post this entry with some ridiculous error, that would teach me - but I have this entry popping up near the top of my friends page telling me that this person thinks 'mutany' - this is the subject line of a post featuring a vintage ad dealing with Pepsi vs. Coke back in the day - is going to effectively fuel whatever feud this comm is having with LJ. The ad has some unhappy dude in a lifeboat who I presume is the unlucky captain who has been 'mutanied' against bemoaning their lack of coca cola. Well, I caught this a couple hours ago, and I was the first comment - Sorry, but you've spelled mutiny wrong. - well, refreshing before I turn in for the night, a quick breather from writing, there are two more comments - Oh, I think, cool. They've fixed it and we're all good. Nope. Two completely unrelated comments, neither of which mention this blatant misspelling. Why does no one care? Why? I understand that the English language is in constant flux and that Shakespeare spelled things differently than I do. I still consider that this is a very different thing and I long for people to care about fixing typos, whether they are caused by accident or ignorance.
