Reader asks:
“Do you make spelling mistakes on purpose ?
Or was it a genuine mistake you know u can get away with. Plane is spelt plane Not plan Isn't it ? Curious nice writing keep it coming”
Two things:
1. It’s amusing someone would ask this while making blatant grammar mistakes in their question. (words capitalized that shouldn’t be, the letter “u” instead of typing “you”, multiple spaces before the question marks, lack of commas where needed, etc.)
2. The answer is no, I didn’t misspell plane on purpose.
It just happened.
And, I simply don’t worry about typos.
Why?
Because my view on this is, in my experience, if someone is so wound up they wouldn’t buy from me because an email had a (oh noes!) spelling mistake, then that person would be a huge pain in my gluteus assimus customer I would want nothing to do with.
I’m not saying they are “bad” people.
Just not my kind of customer.
All right enough of this clacking.
On to business...
