Is Fluther too strict when it comes to grammar?

Asked by Vincentt (8094points) May 8th, 2011

This Thursday I asked a question about some recipes that could come in useful for the weekend. However, it was moderated (in the middle of the night in my timezone) because it had some spelling errors. A day after I asked I found out, re-read the question and enabled it again. Today I found out that it had been moderated again – apparently the offending error was that refrigerator is spelled without a ‘d’.

Not being a native speaker, I had no idea (so I did learn something :), however, this means the question was invisible for everybody for a long time (due to it being in moderation), so there wasn’t that much time before the weekend for people to answer.

Isn’t it too strict to moderate a question with a clear deadline just because of a (consistent) little spelling error? Is it really that much of a problem that I spelled “refridgerator” that the question should remain invisible until I fixed that?
