TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Yes... "typo" is the gentle way of pointing out errors in grammar (gramer?),
spelling and usage.
It's much easier for someone to accept that they made a mistake in typing
(which everyone does) than that their use of the language is lacking -
although in my experience, I find both types of errors about equally common.
It's kind of us to assume that they _meant_ to type the right thing, but
that their fingers slipped - rather than that they failed to pay attention
to their teachers during their x years of schooling. It's gentler on the ego
and doesn't cost us a thing.
Maybe it's a mute point? :)
