I suppose on of the reasons typos bother me is that I'm a scientist, educated to post grad level. To me, things have to be accurate - I was trained to understand IUPAC nomenclature and there is a reason to be accurate: something ending in the suffix -ane is different to the same compound that ends in -ene or -yne. Mixing them up mean completely different chemicals.
Even though it's been over 30 years since I've had to use this, I still nitpick and obvious typos bother me enough that I wonder what else the author has got wrong.
