Typos: Who Cares?

A mere mini-rant on my part. I keep reading reviews on Amazon where the reviewer says "OMG I can't stand all the typoes (sic)"

My first point is, typos don't bother me much. I read a lot of stuff in translation, and I see all kinds of mistake, and I just don't care. It adds tone. Whatever.

My second point is this: I have read some of those books, or passages that have been criticized, and a lot of them DON'T have any typos. That's right. What's with all these sudden idiotic grammar-syntax Nazis who sit back criticizing text and they DON'T KNOW GRAMMAR themselves

OMG! They're so stupid. It's so funny. Where did all these arm-chair grammar pontificaters come from?

I will say I don't read a lot of self-pubbed stuff, but I see criticisms for all types of books, and I see the texts myself. I think it's just a snob thing. People love to give themselves airs. They probably just buy the book and put it on the shelf, then say "Oh, I couldn't read it. The typos!"

Anyway, maybe you feel differently.
