I'll edit your posts for a reasonable fee.

Or were you being sarcastic?
Nevertheless, I LOL-ed, so some karma for you
Edit: Ho. Hmmmm... repeat this sentence 100 times:
"Refresh the page before posting a reply. You could be late."

Edit2: It does make me remember one of my most epic typo's ever: forgetting a complete diagram the size of half an A4 in my thesis, and quite an important one at that. Like this:
"Blablabla, blabla, blaa.... please see the diagram below."
(Half a page of whitespace)
The document went through several people who checked it for various things, and STILL that rather epic omission was never caught. At my final grading, my assessor said:
"The second assessor has added only one remark with regard to your work."
"What diagram was supposed to be on page 18?"
Me, thinking: "Page 18? Architecture..."
"That's the part that talks about architecture of the application. There should be a diagram explaining the architecture there."
There wasn't
I had put a placeholder image file there (completely white), and never replaced it... and the mistake only got caught by the very, very last person to see that document, ever. Luckily my assessor was satisfied with me showing him the diagram on the laptop. I actually put it into the document and recreated the PDF from LaTeX on the spot, so I could give it to him for the school archive
