We're debating the organizational chaos of willful illiterates. Typos are just one of many obvious symptoms.

I'm with the majority on this one. This is not a case of dropping an occasional or accidental typo. What we are discussing is nothing short of linguistic malpractice, it's indicative of gross incompetence, and a functional and organizational breakdown of a high order. It's occurring in a context where it matters, and it's not getting better over time.

We should be so lucky as to be unpresidented.

Georgie was our resident and much loved grammar nazi.

I am, as an IT Manager, allowed to make the occasional grammatical or spelling error although it is frowned upon.

Most of my fellow computer programmers are the worst fucking spellers in the history of people with advanced degrees.  Even the women.

And I don't care as long as the job gets done.
