I would think that would cause more embarasment. I'm not saying it's right, what I *am* saying, is that you should be realistic. All a person sees of another person, is the words he has typed. Nothing else. So that's what he uses as a basis to make a judgement on it. And if he encounters the kind of spelling-mistakes he has seen 30 times before, where those 30 times it was out of negligence or laziness, he's gonna assume the same thing the 31st time.
So yes, you can be realistic and know it's bound to happen. And yes, Einstein would encounter this very thing if he posted with relative anonymity on this forum.
edit again:
this of course should only work for new posters, since after a few posts, people do start to form an image of somebody based on their history. Your anonymity starts to somewhat fade at that point.

All I would like to see happen is for people to see a post and not IMMEDIATELY think they need to be that person's personal post editor. I know its because its something in my life that it irritates me a little more than it would another person who doesnt live with it day and day out, but to be quite honest it irriated me before I even knew Dave because I was aware of it and what it was...heck even as smart as he is he was embarrased to talk to me about it because he thought I would look down on him....if you take the time to educate yourself its very obvious when you're dealing with someone that has a form of dyslexia...so it comforted Dave a little to know that I knew from the first time we talked online that he had that problem and I still went out with him anyway
As some people have said already...it never occured to them....thats all I was trying to do...make people aware.
