I hope they do. I leave spelling errors in my Thrend titles. (On purpose)

Also, herio can find some cool stuff, dispite his spelling.

Generally I don't since those threads are probably made by people who can't type coherently.

Yes.

In fact, the more spelling errors there are, the more likely I am to click on it, because the contents are usually hilarious.

Hey, um… sorry to say but you misspelled both "spelling", "with", and "errors."

Try to be more careful next time. Many people avoid threads with words misspelled in titles. To be fair, threads with misspelled titles usually make the forum look bad.

Actually, I usually do… Only because I skim titles more than read them and, as such, I never really notice the errors until later. XD

*points at the thread title.*

What do you think?

Idk. If there's something interesting to be said I usually do. The spelling isn't as important to me as the topic in general.

Well, Technically the human brain can automatically decipher simple spelling errors like the one in the title, relatively easy.. I think it goes something like this:
Your brain looks at the first and last letter in a word, and if they are in the right place will have no problem reading that word, no matter how out of place the rest of letter in the word are..

Normally I don't care I just focus on the message being made.
If it's bad enough that I can't read it, then I have problem with it and choose not to read it again.

So does that mean I'm abnormally smart or that my brain is just that slow?

I get annoyed because it makes the place look untidy, and I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I'm the kinda guy who tells someone else to remake the thread because they spelled it wrong.

If despite the spelling the title is intriguing, absolutely ;)

I do read them because I know nobody's perfect. Secondly, English is not my primary language.

I just did. Crud.
Well, never mind the title. If I see a click on what looks like a good subject line and I see:

"woot we'll chenge the wurlde lez do this cmon ppl LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO!"

THEN I get generally upset, because run-on sentances with no punctuation at all make me mad.
