Typing "lool" instead of "look" is an easy, and common, error. It demonstrates a lack of proofreading, not a lack of understanding.

Typing "series" for "serious", "there" for "their", "humors" for "humorous", "it's" for "its", and even "shorta" for "sorta", is something else entirely. When you add the lack of capitalization, misplaced or missing punctuation, incorrect verb conjugation, and so on, you're far out of the realm of typos and into the realm of a need for remedial English classes. When you add to that the fact that the OP could have, after a good night's sleep, gone back and edited his initial post to correct its errors, but apparently didn't find any errors in need of correction, the contrast between those posts and a finger slipping from "k" to "l" is heightened.
