I have been punished for this before, but I can't help notice when someone starts lecturing about typos, and can't proofread their own prose.

Is it about Europeans being lenient to typos or faulty grammar in another language than their native tongue (i.e. English)? That's for sure.

But for instance, French people are not lenient at all with typos or faulty grammar in French...

Well, now we are forced to be lenient, because half of engineers and other highly educated individuals who come out of school nowadays cannot write a single sentence without at least one fault :-(

Yeah, it sounds like I worship the good old days, you have to see it to believe it.
