==typos and misspellings==
Rather than point out typos and/or misspellings (and hoping that the original author notices the critique and corrects), I believe it is quite acceptable and more than that, expedient to just correct the typo or misspelling as long as it's a comment (in a program) or withing a "talk" page --- if the error is an obvious one. If there's a doubt, don't change it. If I'd bothered to complain about everybody's bad spelling or wrong word use, I'd never get any real work done. The few I do correct, I make sure it's the only thing I do on that update, so other people (especially the original poster) can see what was changed. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]]
Some programmers use misspelled words like '''kount''' (instead of count) for variable names intentionaly for whatever reasons. I also use misspelled words like Ka-razy (for crazy) at times in the comment portions, sometimes these attempts at humor may be hard to discern. Humor is a fine line. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 22:17, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
