    Um, I didn’t follow the link, but going by the URL…I hate to be pedantic (tongue in cheek), but correcting someone’s spelling isn’t actually being pedantic!

    Being pedantic is all about superfluous unnecessary accuracy just for the sake of accuracy. To enable effective communication it’s pretty important that we spell correctly.

    The priest prays for children.
    The priest preys for children.
    Slightly different spelling, slightly different meaning.

    Surely it would be “The priest preys on children?

    I have this sudden urge to go searching for typos on FB and writing sarcastic replies. The trouble is I actually like all my FB friends! (I thought I should add that just in case any of them are reading this, pyro 😉 ).

    LOL at most of those, but David who complains about mis-spelling of Shakespeare really needs to get a clue.
