Precision is key. If you carefully consider each word and each sentence, then you’ve put yourself in another realm as a writer. Precision helps you gain respect and legitimacy because is shows you’re taking your writing and reporting seriously, even if you’re writing humor. At the very least, consult a dictionary, thesaurus and grammar book. All the Web site flash and dazzle in the world won’t cover up poor writing riddled with spelling and grammar mistakes. Trust me: If there’s one typo, one spelling error, someone is going to call you stupid.
HAHAHA! Typos are sneaky little devils.
They like to get the best of the best of us.
But I won’t call her stupid.. that’s just mean.

I kind of thought that too, when I saw the original post.
I especially like, “..even if you’re writing humor.” Took me an hour to break the arrowhead off and pull the damned thing all the way through my butt after that. Then I had to soak it in whiskey.
