      Don’t do that shit. Go back to reddit if you can’t understand typos.

        It’s not a typo when its a correctly spelled, but incorrect word. A typo is where you mash keys or type them in the wrong order - a typographical error. Writing the wrong word entirely is an error.

        I’m just pointing out a common mistake so the person has a chance to learn. That mistake is not a typo.
