And regular errors on here and elsewhere don't bother me. They happen. I type very fast and almost always go back and fix things. It's when an error is habitual when it's obvious the person doesn't have a clue....those are the ones that bother me.
Maranara...I too am a teacher, and I agree with you about the texting thing.
