Default Re: Should we be telling them?

Same goes for telling people about typos. I always do it, even if they didn't ask. It's amazing the different reactions you get. When someone points out MY typos to me, I LOVE IT!

I remember seeing a 4th grade typo on a very well respected COPYWRITER's website (he had 'breath' instead of 'breathe') -- His arrogant response was for me to bug off, and that he was making so much money on the site, he didn't care about typos. Bear in mind, he's trying to make his living off of WRITING.

Others have more appropriately thanked me -- I remember Marlon Sanders thanking me profusely when I pointed out a GIANT typo that changed the whole meaning of one of his big launches -- and it was in the second paragraph! He said he was gonna fire someone over that one!
