That is one reason I left the securities industry. They place a premium on that skill.<BR/><BR/>It is rather offensive that you decide to attack me over this. Other readers try to be helpful in pointing out typos. And if you had ever published an article, you would know that journalists and writers, unlike bloggers, have everything edited by a line editor (there is often a separate editor for content/style, which shows how specialized a skill this is). They don't have to worry about typos when they are trying to meet deadlines.<BR/><BR/>I also, and have said before, that I am not good at proofreading, A reader told me last night I had typed the date in incorrect. He didn't presume that I was unable to use a calendar.<BR/><BR/> I have in fact been tested as not being good at typos, and that was before the days of spell check (and I also know how to spell quite well), I have terrible manual dexterity and type slowly as well. <BR/><BR/>Now, do you just want me to quit posting? Most of what I write is news driven. I think it is more important to my readers to be timely than write 15% less or be considerably later by virtue of being meticulous. Or you if it bothers you that much, you can pay for a line editor.Yves Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03506020285476330865noreply@blogger.com
