Welcome to

I’m not sure how I feel about this, but it is an original idea: a post at Copyblogger suggests that you intentionally include select typos or spelling errors in your writing in order to sucker people into commenting and getting further involved with you. Check out Made You Thunk: Engage Your Readers With Typos and Misquotes. Sounds a little dubious to me. Sure, you might get some people to contact you, but many of them might wind up thinking you’re a tool (and the many others who don’t contact you will think you’re stupid). I’d file this in the same category as the old door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman trick where he throws a pile of dirt on the prospect’s living room floor so that she HAS to let him show off how good the vacuum is.
