Most of the time I type really fast so I might appear to misspell LOL



same here. I think we're all intelligent enough to know the correct spelling on word, but when you type fast things get jumbled easily.

ok.. not necessaruhly -jk- grammar, but simple spelling.... I'm neurotic about that.. I enjoy finding typos.. Or is it typoEs?? I particularly like 'isle' or 'tool'.. However, it takes me forever and a day to scan my post because I am anal.. It's so unhealthy!

How about your and you're????

I'm sure I've made some typos from typing quickly, but when I catch them, they irk me - probably because I used to have to proofread all my boss' work before he sent it out. LOL
