Typography

[kingrat]

While doing some examination of our code base I repeatedly come across typos such as:

• Trasaction (for transaction)
• Obosolete (for obsolete)
• Itinrary (for itinerary)

Urg… The inner 7th grade English teacher in me is ready to bust out and bust chops.

That is enough to drive me crazy. I deal with this sort of thing daily. I am in the process of revising the procedure manual at work because the spell check option was too much for the author. Yay for me!

How do these people get employed?

I can understand making typos on occasion. What I don't understand is repeating typos and never correcting them.

No one checks for that during an interview!

I once watched a programmer mistype a variable name. Why didn't his code stop working? Because he copied and pasted the same misspelled variable name all over the place...
