Does anyone else find memes with unintentional spelling mistakes annoying?
I mean, comments sure. Writers aren't expecting a comment to be the main post. But in memes it seems like something you'd want to make sure you get right.
It does, and then I found out some people actually use mistakes like that to drive engagement because it makes people comment their posts and videos just to correct them, effectively boosting the post. Now, it annoys me even more.
At this point, I too am sure it has to be done on purpose, given how systematic it's become. They pretty much all have at least one typo. It's statistically impossible to be incapable to write five words without a mistake every once in a while, even nowadays.
:O
Yeah I saw it too, but I didn't make this, so I couldn't easily fix it before sharing.
