I recently noticed and corrected some typos in a couple of old posts of mine, which reminded me of something I\u2019ve been meaning to ask about:<\/p>\r\n
Do you want to be told about typos in things you post?<\/p>\r\n
I definitely do. If you see a typo in something I post (and the typo isn\u2019t a joke), please let me know! Ideally gently\/kindly, with the goal of giving me the opportunity to correct the error.<\/p>\r\n
(Note: When I say \u201ctypo\u201d in this context, I mean things like misspellings or misplaced punctuation\u2014things that are very definitely and clearly errors (whether caused by mistyping or not). (Also errors like the one I made in a post yesterday, where I repeatedly referred to an author by the wrong surname.) I\u2019m not talking about stylistic choices, or outdated prescriptivist rules about prepositions, or other stuff that reasonable people might disagree about.)<\/p>\r\n
But I learned a while back that there are people who don\u2019t want to be told about such things; some such people even consider mentions of typos to be attacks, no matter how gently such mentions are phrased.<\/p>\r\n
So I\u2019m curious about what y\u2019all\u2019s preferences are, with the understanding that different people have different preferences.<\/p>\r\n
(I don\u2019t promise to remember<\/em> your individual preferences, though.)<\/p>\r\n (Wrote this in September, but didn\u2019t post it at the time; lightly edited and updated it today.)<\/p>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[105],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-social-networking"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20924"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20924\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20925,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20924\/revisions\/20925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
