Can you honestly say you have never done a typo?

Stop nit picking.

those are not typos (or is it typo's or typos' even)...it's a common fault many people make that looks really stupid...there/their your/you're to/too...it's got nothing to do with hitting the wrong key on your keyboard.

You are correct with typos therefore avoiding a simple mistake that would have looked stupid....

Yeah, that'd do it. And what about Offa's--I still can't get it straight: was it about Dutch people fingering lesbians to keep out woolly perverts? Something like that, surely?

Never done a hippo? Certainly not!

And its nitpicking. One word.

And we're not nitpicking--if you don't say what you mean, then you're failing to communicate because your meaning is open to interpretation. Its not good enough to say "Well, you know what I mean.". If you don't say what you mean, then all we're doing is guessing. Words, punctuation, syntax and all the rest are there to ensure clarity of meaning--mess with them and you mess with the meaning. Innit.
