Does it bother you when you see the wrong spelling of a word in an article or text?

Asked by rojo (24179points) December 30th, 2016

I mean homonyms, not misspellings. Things like thrown instead of throne or your instead of you’re?

Does it bother you? Do you put less credence into whatever you are reading? Do you question the writers education or intelligence? Or do you just gloss over it and perhaps not even notice?

I seem to see it more often now; am I or is it just because of my advanced age? Does it have to do with spellcheck and voice activation?

Does this occur in other or all languages? If so, are there any Flutherines who can give a few of the more hilarious examples?
