It was a typo, not a spelling mistake. I do actually know how to spell 
that. Besides, whenever someone behaves like a mannerless jerk, things 
like major lack of grammar/spelling skills make it easier to pick apart 
that person's mindless blathering. It's probably why people like to pick 
apart grammar/spelling in posts to the newsgroup by spammers and kooks.

I just think it's really sad that so little importance is placed on 
learning grammar and spelling in school. It's not rocket science. It's 
not that hard. It's extremely distracting to try to read something with 
grammar and spelling mistakes in it. Especially if someone is being 
excessively rude, it's amusing to pick up on that person's lack of 
grammar and spelling skills.
