Eh, I understand where you are coming from. Often times, when I make a typo, it is because I was typing too fast and I did not proofread it, but then again, I am meticulous about the way that I type.
Unless the grammar police are giving me a sincere piece of advice, they are usually just using the grammar card as a last resort jab at my intelligence (in the stead of just addressing my argument).
Personally, I find that the attitude of grammar, typing skills, spelling skills etc. being the END ALL, BE ALL of intelligence is hideously flawed. Granted, I think it is safe to assume "dat sum1 who tlks liek dis" (or types like that for that matter) is probably a moron, but I still refuse to believe that highly advanced articulation skills are a necessity or the only true indicator of intelligence.
My articulation skills, given enough effort, tend to make people believe that I am much more intelligent than I actually am so I am not about to say that they come anywhere near the requirement for intelligence. But this is me ranting.
IIN that I cant stand the grammar police!!

"uing the grammar card as a last resort jab at my intelligence (in the stead of just addressing my argument)"
This is what exactly what im getting at. Far to many topics turn into spelling competitions, rarther than addressing the point.
