Dear Internet Grammar and Spelling Nazis,

Thank goodness you came along. If it hadn't been for your observation
that the word "report" was supposed to be "rapport" it may have had no
effect whatsoever on our lives. But you, ah, you have found meaning in
the minutiae. This is the Internet, after all, and someone needs to
police it. You, sir or madam, are a hero for your willingness to
sacrifice valuable hours of your day to something nobody else cares
about just so that we know you can spell better than we can.

You spend countless hours combing posts and responses to posts just so
you can point out when the rest of us make mistakes, because of course
you never do. You don't have anything more important to do with your
life because this is the most important thing in the world. In fact,
if someone makes a spelling error online, it's a far more important
representation of their ability to perform their duties as a human
being than anything they actually say. Because if we don't proofread
our 18th post today on an Internet message board about which actress
has the best rack, then we probably don't proofread our resumes
either. It's the only logical conclusion to make.

So I applaud you today, Guy Who Points Out Typos, for making sure we
all know you found our mistake. You're right, it IS unprofessional to
make spelling errors on an online forum about homosexual monkey sex
photos. Your life is truly validated each time you point that out to
the rest of us. So even though the others fail to appreciate your
solid work ethic, know that I see your heroic efforts and I am
eternally grateful that you made sure I know I accidentally left the
"u" out of "restaurant" in my post about where to eat fried crickets
in Los Angeles. Had you not pointed that out, nobody would have cared.
But now we all know that you do.

Sincerely,
Someone Who Occasionally Makes Mistakes

Plagiarist.
