Last but not least: spelling fanatics are up to mischief on Twitter
Modern communication is fast. So fast, in fact, that spelling sometimes falls by the wayside. While some people simply overlook or ignore typos or grammatical errors, these mistakes drive others up the wall. On Twitter, there’s now even a “grammar police” that tracks down mistakes and reprimands—or rather, exposes—spelling offenders…
The misdemeanors are collected on websites such as the Twitter Fail Blog. If you have the time and inclination, you can spend hours there amusing yourself about the mishaps in the Twitter world or getting upset about them. The spelling fanatics pursue their goal meticulously: in order to find as many mistakes as possible, one capital letter critic has even written a program that tracks down tweets written entirely in capital letters and scourges them with automatic rebukes. FINALLY SOMETHING USEFUL!
