They need to improve their spec on writing responses on Hacker News. Or maybe typos are an improvement by design to look human / increase engagement.

Not suggesting anything, but I'm wondering where the culture of having obvious misspellings without editing them out became the norm on HN. It's become the new em dash warning flag for me on forums.



nobody cares about good spelling or expression any more, and haven't done for a long time, "as long as you understood then it must be ok, right?"

depressing directions.


Why use more word when less do trick?
