It is very off-putting to be reading along and then - WHAM! - the typo throws you off course. Also love the photo you used -- very descriptive. Please visit my blog, the purpose of which is to find spelling, grammar and punctuation errors in our environment and help others to take a more active approach to proofreading their work.

First impressions are very important, even as much as we'd like people to see a deeper side of us. You wouldn't want typos on your resume? Or on your business card? People who want their blogs to help them move forward in business or with careers should think about that. Your blog is like a calling card, does it reflect the image you want someone to see? Also, the types of typos could mean something (though I don't know what). You may never have spelling errors, but if you constantly mix up the there/their/they're rule, it could mean trouble for your first impression. Thanks Stanley!!

I agree, especially if you know someone might be really thankful that you shot them a quick email or DM, I would do that. But you're right, people may not care at all, let all the typos fly, and it could be part of their style. For me, I put my blog on my resume, so I would hate for potential employers or volunteer boards to take a look and think that I can't run a spell check! Most people can forgive typos here and there, but you're right: not caring can look just as bad as not showering. Hey Mehnaz!
